The reason “gate” be came a syllable of scandal is because lazy, bored, unimaginative journalist majors graduated and entered the media workplace.

Racist-underpay-gate
Female-underpay-gate
EV-car-in-flames-driver-cant-get-out-gate
And who can forget Pedo-gate?

I’m sure I’m leaving some off the list.
