I don't hold tradition on a pedestal. You are mistaking loyalty for tradition. I'm not even sure why.
You do understand that you can't pay people to be your friend, correct? Or rather, you could, but I think just about anyone would call into question the quality of such a friendship.
A-chan is Sora's best friend. She wouldn't betray her or take the company's side if it meant hurting her. In fact, A-chan would most likely take Sora's side in a disagreement between the two parties. A-chan has always stuck up for the other talent. She could do that because she had the means to do so. She was a founder, after all.
Nodoka is not a historied friend of any of the talent, nor does she have the ability to defy management or refuse their demands.
She is a corporate hire and has little power within Cover. Most employees have been there longer than she has.
You don't seem to understand how important seniority is within a Japanese workplace.
Even if say, a content director has final say over a project, they would still respect A-chan and try their hardest to not get into a position where they would disagree with her.
Nodoka is simply a mouth piece within the company. She does not make decisions and she never will because that is not what she was hired for.
Once again, you don't seem to understand A-chan's role within hololive. She wasn't just some elaborate way for Cover to make announcements or promote events.
