It was people like Gotti playing it up. After Carlo Gambino died and Gotti killed his successor, it just drew so much attention to the Mafia that the FBI couldn't not do anything about it anymore without making themselves look like clowns. Similar thing happened in Philly when Angelo Bruno (notorious for being fair and lowkey) got whacked and eventually succeeded by Nicky Scarfo who was a total psychopath.
