Total Recall spoiler:
Only because Quaid thought it was that way. According to the director, the entire film after he visited Rekall was his own construct based on the secret agent ego trip they implanted. He ends up getting lobo'ed at the endjust as he was told would happen by the Rekall director who visits his "Ego Trip". So how things operate in reality are totally irrelevant.
Of course, the ending is purposely shot to leave things ambiguousbut that is the canon explanation in his commentary.
