Systems adapt. Extrapolation based on current state is often fallacious.

Migrating away from the current system would require the powerful to give up their power

Implicit in that statement is a huge and largely unfounded assumption that there's only one possible future state, and that it's as you say it is.

And, even if it means that the powerful are forced to give up power, well, that's happened before and it's not impossible that it'll happen again.
