Plenty of people stepped into power vacuums not to make themselves rich but to save their nation Napolean, Tito, Cincinnatus, arguably George Washington.

Right but this is rare enough for "power vacuums" to generally be regarded as a bad thing and not a good thing.

If they frequently had great people step in, we'd just produce them artificially all the time.
