I don't get why anyone sees a commanding/politic role to the primarch.

Guilliman organize the astartes not because he wants, but because what happenend. Looking at him acting as a commander was a direct conseguence of the Emperor's fate and what ahppened with traitors legion.

Regarding other Primarchs, they never show will or skill to become leader of something.

Vulkun just decide to leave. Khan decide to pursue dark eldar raiders, Russ threw himself in the Eye of Terror and so on.

Does not seems to me that they would like to have some leader role in the Imperium. I'm more than afraid that, in case of someone's returning, they keep acting like single individuals, pursuing their own ideas of vengeance and cleanse.

Probably it would end with them taking back learship of their chapter and lead them to some major victories on the always growing threats to the Imperium.

It is nice to dream about their return as "heir" of the Emperor, dreaming of some key role for them. But probably they will only balance some "impossible to win" today scenarios. Of course what they did will sound amazing (imagine Space Marines led by one of the primarch defeating one Hive Fleet) but in the overall situation of the universe it will simply be "not enough" to change fate (except for bying to imperium some more time before the fall).
