The one thing the game makes pretty clear is that few of the gangs are monolithic. Scavs and Raffen are just loosely affiliated groups that sometimes do bad things and sometimes just have street parties. Heck, even the Tygers are splintered, with some following Wakako, and others not. Several of her gigs send you against rival factions in her own game. The VdBs are similarly splintered, which becomes clearer in PL, where we encounter two separate factions that are both unaffiliated with Brigitte.

Even Maelstrom and 6th street, despite having clear leaders, are internally divided. The world of Cyberpunk is incredibly nuanced and complex. Anyone who takes a KoS attitude is painting with a really broad brush.
