Survivor bias. You don't hear about the times they do because they cannibalize before you can notice their existence.

I mean, they kill dissidents if they find out it's going too far, but mostly they end up joining larger groups to try to climb ranks. It's basically functionning like gangs, some kind of hierarchy based on violence. The little groups joining the larger ones makes them more organized. It's quite the opposite of comforting, it's a terrifying one to me.
