Presumably most government employees are acting in good faith - why wouldn’t they fulfil a reasonable FOIA request?
This is likely the result of some actors not acting in good faith, and so have no choice but to stonewall lest their intransigence be revealed.
All execs have to do is not staff the FOIA department, and requests get ignored. People generally prefer free time to doing paperwork, if boss allows.
