Yeah, all security chiefs are practically fascist or hardcore, overbearing traditionalists in Star Trek (maybe except La'An). Why they choose to portray them that way? I think someone has a secret agenda. Edit: And admirals. Almost every admiral we see is in some way corrupt.

People who are drawn to positions like these are often conservative (I’m not saying facist), so it makes a lot of sense to me. In real life you can see that with the police and other security-centered jobs for example. And it makes a lot of sense, since these positions are about keeping things „in order“ which is a very fundamental conservative value if you think about it. So rather strict, inflexible security chiefs are very believable to me.
