All good kings eventually die. So projects without a good king are more future proof if they survive because they have already priced that reality in. The other projects could very well collapse once their good king dies.

Perhaps. But which project is more likely to survive into the future: Bitcoin, or Ethereum? I think having a good king steers a project well enough to future-proof it in most cases, if for no other reason than that it's engineered better along the way.
