That's true to a degree. But I think it goes beyond that for many people. Many people are looking at the history (and present) of governments oppressing and taking military action against dissenting citizens (see Burma today, United States/Britain in the 1700s).
It goes beyond "disagreeable policies". There are real events that lead people to be distrustful of government.
Personally I think that not having trust in government and not allowing for an effective government because of that lack of trust is a critical problem. But it's not adequate to simply ignore the previous bad behavior of governments. There need to be some structural improvement to increase the credibility of trust.
