Unpopular take: monarchs have better incentive alignment than democracies.

Their legacy is their children's inheritance.

You are mostly right, same with unlimited term presidents also. Much better in general.
But because of humans tendency to become corrupt, the four year cycle with a second term keeps things balanced and protects from authoritarianism.
