What was the Athenian Empire in disguise?
The anti-Persian alliance formed after the 479 BCE defeat of the Xerxes invasion.Athens took over leadership of this alliance and assessed contributions from the cities, which could be paid in warships or money. Most cities preferred the latter, and so Athens had an unchallenged superior navy, which was used to enforce the contributions. So the character of the alliance changed from a free association for defence to an empire paying tribute. Pericles is recorded as openly saying it was an empire.

Why might some Greek city-states have wanted to withdraw from the Delian League?
The Delian League was formed under Athenian leadership to oppose Persia and keep the Greek city-states liberated from the Persian Empire from falling back under its control. When Persia agreed to peace and to keep away from these cities, Athens took the League treasury used to fud the resistance to Persia to Athens, but also kept up the annual levy for the fighting fund, collected by force if necessary. The cities did not see why they should continue these payments. Athens did, because it used the money to build the Parthenon etc and keep half its population on the public payroll, including it's navy which made an annual cruise extorting the contributions (or 'tribute') for the now-defunct anti-Persian defence. They were kept paying, as Athens replaced the Persians as a master, so the cities, in escaping the Persian Empire, found themselves trapped in an Athenian Empire.
