[Civ] Why are leaders immune to culture?

In many of the Civilization games, you can convert opponent cities to your civilization through cultural influence. As your culture increases, expanding your boundaries, opponent cities near your border can eventually decide to join your civilization.

In-game this represents the swaying of the opinion of the population. They literally just like you more.

But why doesn't this effect the civilization leaders? In fact, the opposite happens. As your culture increases (and you get closer to a victory condition) they will like you less, becoming increasingly angry at you. What is it about leaders that makes them immune to your cultural influence?

Leaders have their own cultural and political agenda separate from their populace and don't enjoy having their populace subverted away from that agenda by another culture's Coca Cola and blue jeans.  Since leaders never change the song remains the same.
