"Don't give up power" is a tactic with a definitive expiry date. Part of running a BDFL should include succession planning.
Another risk of being king is that you may make your death / injury a much more expident route to sabotaging your project.
I don't follow nixOS so I'm unfamiliar with this particular incident however.
