That’s pretty much anywhere in the third world, FYI. It’s just how things work until you have many decades of stability and democracy to unlearn it. Corruption used to be a way of life in the West, too. There were operas about it.
India has 70 years of democracy, but according to my coworkers there are just too many people (density) to enforce laws. You shut something down, there’s another thing tomorrow
They have had democracy longer than typical, and are a challenge to explain in that sense, but not really stability or prosperity.
Whichever theory you subscribe to, this is an empirical observation. Visit Africa or Latin America or SE Asia and you’ll see similar things. (And the first two can be pretty low density, FWIW)

You clearly have no idea what it’s like outside the Western world.
(That’s a statement about your privilege, not a criticism of them)
