Lucasfilm needs their Kevin Feige, someone far younger than KK and more in touch with not only the source material but fans as well. It needs to be someone that understands filmmakers, such as a successful producer like KK but someone far more in tune with the Star Wars Galaxy.
If either Filoni or Favreau were to take on the role as president, either guy would need to pull back from daily production, like that of The Mandalorian, Rangers of the New Republic and The Book of Boba Fett (along with Robert Rodriguez) to take on more an Executive/Admin role, which would weaken their ability to tell stories and be creative, which is really who they are as people: Storytellers.

Fair enough, and good non-emotional perspective.
KK can stay on in her current role as long as she takes a 20% pay cut (to help fund future endeavors by F&F) and stays hidden in the shadows of Lucasfilm. I feel like that is reasonable, especially considering the success Lucasfilm has had when she's not determining the course.
