If founders were transferable a Raider can simply gain absolute power by becoming the next in line, and instantly destroy or seize the region with no restrictions.
The custodian proposal would help add restrictions so that Raiders cannot have absolute power, while providing an advantage towards Defenders and natives, as most Gameplay changes do. That was originally why influence was implemented, after all, and the WA Liberation and update variance.
