yeah, corruption and self-serving behavior among bureaucrats is not unique to authoritarianism and/or communism. with that said, the underlying critique is valid: there is more overt pressure for information-hiding in an authoritarian regime. but boeing, for example, shows that you don't need an authoritarian communist system to want to look good to people who have influence over your livelihood and stature (and thereby suppress bad information).
