Even though the Primarchs had now real power when it came to administrative or political areas of the Imperium they still had a great deal of autonomy which the high lords may not be too willing to give them. Also others here suggested they may try to reform their legions which the high lords will definitely be opposed to afraid such a thing may lead to another horus heresy. I believe we were mainly talking about the books but even so I think Novajester is correct there are a great number of characters who have people equal to or greater then the Primarchs.
