Might be that the 'usual' Space Marine (far as those guys are usual) is unworthy of using the Emperor´s Weapons, but what about one of his 'Sons', a Primarch? Seeing as Lion El'Johnson is probably the last of the Loyalist Primarchs to be alive, it might be that he´d be asked/allowed to wield the Emperor´s weapons, to become another figurehead for humanity. Only seeing this now, I highly doubt that the Lion would actually be  good choice for one simple reason: he is the secretive Lion.

Problem 2: He would only have the position of a Chapter Master and not that of a Legion leading Primarch (which the DA and their successors could operate around but it would raise more suspicions of them violating the codex than are already around.

Problem 3: He is not as potent a fighter as Emps and has far less psychic potential, thus he would not be able to wield the weapons to that effect and they'd only be a symbol.

Problem 4: He is no leader of men, no administrator and so on, many people would be pissed off if he was in command/given more power than his due (and that of the other primarchs) and he is sure as hell not able to communicate as effectively as others.
