In my experience, this is accurate, but in the case of the FBI and the DOJ, they are much more interested in making a name for themselves on an individual level.
A supervisory special agent can push an investigation very far and has a lot to gain from it in terms of credibility among peers and career gains. Investigations into low profile targets are heavily deprioritized in favor of high profile targets.
The same pattern extends through to the US Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors are highly motivated to target high profile individuals and organizations.
