To bring more money to stakeholders so they can fly their SUV for a safari in Africa or have s*x with underage people without being punished.

LOL!

A cynical and snarky observation but one that inadvertently furthers my point.

What happens to the corporation if a leader dies in a SUV wreck on safari or gets arrested for statutory rape?

In most corporations, this flawed individual would be immediately replaced with minimal operational impact. Succession is a pre-planned aspect of the organizational structure.

Now, what happens to an Open Source project if this individual is the "benevolent dictator"? It is not a question of "if" but rather "when" this person's participation will end.
