It's both of those things IMO. Being stricter comes about because of being targeted more. It's not always just responsive reactions to abuse. Often it's pre-emptive defederation even before abuse is received, just to ensure it never happens. And that's the part where "stricter" comes in to it, because a lot of generalist instances are happy to respond only if and when another instance becomes a problem
At least, that's how it works on the queer instaces I admin :)
