Actually, the answer is most likely found in the latter part of the above quoted sentence. I suspect it is very easy to fall into turf battles especially when competing for the same content & clientèle. I also suspect that this kind of territorial behaviour is even more pronounced when new competition appears on the scene.

As an example, look at dogs. They bark loudest & most viciously at new dogs until the pecking order has been clearly re-established.

That, & they all calm down after smelling each other's butts.
