That's because nobody wants to stick their neck out and criticize one of the 'big gorillas' and then have their head handed to them by everyone else.
The unspoken rule is that there are the safe (and often defenseless) targets who are easy to gang-up on and then there are the 'big gorillas' that everyone knows are off-limits. It's typical of any gathering of people--we all know who we can

dis for fear of being thrown out of the group.
