I think the shock (to some) comes from the perceived hypocrisy of constantly attacking the establishment, but the collaborating with it.

He doesn't like the establishment, because the more powerful the establishment is the less free reign he has to buy influence. Therefore, it makes sense that he collaborates with the establishment where it benefits him, because it increases his power.
