Problem with ruling over successors -- see Red Corsairs/Lugft Huron  the Chapters were made especially so that nnobody ever had control over such a force again.

problem 2: Eldar, Dark Eldar, necron, Tau and Tyranid primarchs?

sidenote, Demon Primarchs were beaten by space marines (see the carving on Angron#s heart) and all demon Primatrchs have pretty much focussed on other things atm than ruling voer their respective legions.

problem 3. they left but were not the rulers or had just become rulers and not administrated.

Guilliman left every planet to self rule and curze rule was good/human/  rly? you wanna go for sector wide terror campaigns and murder as effective ruling strategy?

If primarchs were gioven general command, they would siply take over imperial Army rule, whcih was what was tried to circumvent by splitting up their chapters and so on (aside from making a lot of the military structure of i9p guard/navy useless.)

Angron#s experience as a ruler is relevant to his skill at leading people and gioverning them, we are taling about the ability of primarchs to rule.

USA bombed Japan to scare off the soviets not to kill japan, they had already achieved that by bombing wooden cities with icendiary ammunition.

lorgar was using one faith tailored to his and his "father's" customs/interpretation and not the spiritual needs of the people, they were simply enforcing(literally) one rule.

Russ did not lead his legion on the crusade, he led some chapters sometimes, nevertheless even before the great crusade, russ did not occupy himself with ruling the people on fenris.

controlled the orders aka weas a general at best, maybe a supreme commander of armed forces, that does not qualify him or the leadership over a planet/civilisation.
