Part of the point of crowning Charlemagne was to establish who really held the right to crown. Same in 2025. Political legitimacy is less about governance and more about who controls the ritual (tech founders, financial institutions, media conglomerates). Like Leo they don't need the throne because they have the power to decide who gets to sit in it
