I do think it's more of power trip than anything else. The TSA overwhelmingly seem to want to browbeat the very people they are supposed to be serving. Indeed the rules seem to vary arbitrarily by time of day, by airport, by passenger volume. It just proves that most of what the TSA does in airports is is really just security theater.

Had to fly again last week for work: I kindly ask the TSA employee if laptops need to be in or out of the bag I carry as I pas through the checkpoint. He says "yes", so I proceed to remove my laptop. As I'm pulling it out, the exact same employee yells at me "NO, laptops stay in the bag".
