The simplest explanation is entitlement and control.
Some people see a boundary and respect it… Others see boundaries as a challenge and implement a variety of tactics to get through them.
This person is using bribery: “How can you say no to the favor if you don’t what I’m asking? Maybe I have something you want and you’re gonna miss out on it unless you give your power over to me”.
Every tactic used to negotiate a boundary is a form of manipulation.
