Why do Indian people working in MNCs never miss a chance to lick a**es of firang counterparts or firang bosses?

I work with a top-tier (if that applies) American Company and it had been a week that I’ve been asking my senior (my boss’s counterpart) in another team to share an access which he owns. He never replied to me earlier and kept redirecting me to IT teams which are next level to sarkaari officers - kept moving me from one person to another. And then finally the request landed with a super sweet young girl (intern sorts) in IT team who told me that the guy, my senior (same guy who directed me to them) can only share as he owns. So naturally I sent him a request again and he chatted saying that he has now transferred Admin rights to his boss (who is based in US) and that she can give the access to me. I mean - why did you have to send me all the way to IT first? But that’s not it, so I reached out to his boss in US and within 5 minutes she provided me access and even granted me permission to provide accesses to others stating that she failed to understand why that senior based in India couldn’t provide me access directly and had to delay it by passing me through to her. I mean, I was like exactly. So this guy reaches out to my boss (his counterpart who is also based in US) to let him know that he facilitated access for me. My boss gave him a “shoutout” for it. I was like wow! He did that all delay and shift authority for a shoutout from his own counterpart?! What’s this mentality? This is just one of the incidents - this guy and so many senior managers his age make it a point to even get smallest things like “breathing in office” gets through to people in US without telling others. He has now encouraged his team to do the same, it is so annoying.
