NYT, please define “intrusive”

Take a look at the first two paragraphs of this New York Times article:

The Obama administration on Wednesday appointed a compensation czar who will have broad discretion to set the pay for 175 top executives at seven of the nation's largest companies, which received hundreds of billions of dollars in federal assistance to survive.

The mandate given to the new compensation official, Kenneth R. Feinberg, a well-known Washington lawyer, reflects the federal government's increasingly intrusive role in the corporate affairs of troubled companies.

“Increasingly intrusive”? That's a little judgmental, isn't it? If you borrow some money from a friend to cover your rent, and she insists that you use it to pay your landlord rather than to play blackjack in Vegas, is she taking an “intrusive” role in your finances? Or is she doing you a favor?
