idk if they really did actually not have any legal/institutional/political power like most of they do i wouldnt really care any more than i care about any rich asshole and their family. Having ceremonial positions be hereditary is not crazy and if people wanna keep those traditions around i dont see the problem again as long as the very real powers that many of the still have today get taken away and it really was just ceremonial like that king in Bolivia for example. I think the real problem is that most people dont know how much power these people actually have.
There's nothing to celebrate cerimonially about kings.
all traditions are weird and arbitrary and plenty have fucked up origins i think as long as they dont actively hurt or offend anyone people should celebrate whatever they like even monarchs.
There are many examples of "powerless" royals abusing their power.
i literally said that IF they truly didnt have power it would be ok, did u even read my comment.
A powerless monarch is a nonsensical concept.
