zero is as temporary as Lelouch would have been as emperor had he chosen a more peaceful path
he's also nowhere near as capable, since he doesn't have Lelouch's political skill
and the possibility of future emperors trying to do what Lelouch did is still very possible
stop pretending like zero is suppose to be a "deterrent"
after all, what is an aspiring dictator more likely to do
give up on his plans of world domination out of fear of one (very mortal) man
or just get better guards who know how to do their jobs
hell, if a future leader does want to take over the world, you can bet your ass that the FIRST thing he does before revealing his intentions would be to kill zero
