I think that those are basically, pretty much, a way of us unfairly stealing their land.
I usually model taxes as payment for various services, like police and fire department coverage and roads. If they had to handle those things themselves, that would take money that they could otherwise use for expansion, and could in some cases result in them being unable to use land because they can’t afford the relevant infrastructure, or having to sell land in one place to pay for infrastructure in another.
It is plausible that it would be more efficient for them to handle those things themselves, but not immediately obvious that that’s the case, at least. The economy of scale involved in having the government handle those things might outweigh any corruption or inefficiency or tendency to reallocate funds to programs that don’t benefit the group in question.
