To the extent this is a real phenomenon, it could emphasise the importance of not reading too much into direct comparisons between tractability across causes.
I agree this is a concern, and motivates me to move towards comparing the cost-effectiveness of specific projects instead of the importance, tractability and neglectedness of (not well defined) causes.
