>>3257114He's not my king nor is he a king yet, but it's probably because the liberals of the west are gonna love him for allowing women to drive and making the nation more secular.
He's keeping gay rights reserved in case he needs the liberals to like him even more, maybe even marriage when he wants more support. After that, literally no liberal in Europe and America will hate Saudi Arabia anymore and will defend it in every single way like they do with Israel.
I know it's a low bar, but if you allow women and gay people to blow up brown kids, you get away with anything and everything.
