You are somewhat correct, even though I’ve never heard anyone say that or allow it to affect their decision in a major way. I do also suspect you may be in a place that is under rather oppressive government regulation.
The problem is a far more fundamental one, because just as I’m trying to get people to understand related to this movement or initiative to do away with property taxes, certain government and asset holder support for that is likely more about personal enrichment and/or expanding total tax receipts by other means, i.e., ulterior motives.
The fundamental issue here is the very premise of how the tax system functions not what kind of taxes are stolen and extracted where; and then redistribute to whom, usually for corrupted reasons and purposes.
The effectively unlimited and unbounded, detached, and inconsequential nature of the tax system now is really the core problem. It’s currently other people’s money and mostly even future people’s money, squandered without any meaningful limits, barriers, or even rules regarding conflicts of interests; and there are virtually zero actual and real, immediate consequences for malfeasance by people charged with the duty of responsible allocation of funds. It’s a corrupt and rotten system from the very top to the very bottom.
Unfortunately not enough people care, understand, or might even like it because they benefit from it and think they will die before the music stops. That’s how we get $37 trillion in national realized debt, another $74 trillion in unfunded liabilities, and another $9 trillion in state and local debt for a total national debt of $120 trillion in America’s public debt burden as of today.

It happens all the time.
Half the time you see a facility that's using "temporary" tarp shelters and/or containers and/or trailers for some amount of it's covered area it's doing it for the taxes. The other half the time is for the expediency and flexibility (a sub component of which is fewer government approvals and government mandated steps, so basically taxes of another form).
Any time you have a commercial development across multiple lots they run the numbers both ways and/or they'll subdivide a big lot or they'll buy adjacent parcels crossing a jurisdiction boundary to minimize expense (not just taxes, construction as well).
I think this person explained a lot about how things get done in the real world. They just don’t like it. What’s not to like about society spending itself into oblivion?
