Some of the examples in the Wikipedia page don't make sense to me.

I agree with you about some of the Wiki examples not making sense. I can understand it for Oceans 11 but not Pluribus.

I was curious too about Pluribus, so I went to the cited article, and this is their reasoning:

[...] long, satisfying sequences of the hive mind restocking a grocery store or harvesting dead bodies, in contrast to the halting, imperfect actions of Carol (Rhea Seehorn), who’s holding on to her independent mind with all her might.
