Can also happen due to hiring developers from those environments. I worked for a company that tasked some developers who'd previously worked for a phone manufacturer to add a feature to disable location services. In review it was noticed that they implemented something that told the user it was disabled but still sent the location back but with a location disabled flag set. When the privacy concern was raised with the developer they responded that this is how its always done.
