People respect others who don't compromise their views, their choices or their lifestyle for anything less than a damn good reason.
Thats seen as integrity. People gravitate toward it because it shows strength of character as opposed to people who are constantly out to please and will compromise at the drop of a hat. They may be liked but they are not really respected.
Theres nothing remotely profound in this. If anything its a regrettable state of affairs that most dramatically effects two personality types. It means that perfectly nice people constantly out to please will be walked over and selfish assholes will have more influence. Its a rare person who finds the right balance to be a nice guy but to keep their integrity, its like walking the worlds most unstable tightrope.
I think thats what you're referring to.
