The problem is that landlords are just the players who got the lucky drops, often the children of lords and merchants who lucked into success.
And once in that position, no one wants to give up their advantage.
Experimental psychologists have done tests on this, and found that it takes effect even in the short term. Monopoly players who are (selected at random) given extra salary money at Go! and extra turns will play, win, and insist that they won by their own skill and merit. Those advantaged also will indulge more in the table snacks.
I feel this way about cops, land lords and billionaires. Tbf tho if those didn’t exist the world would be a much better place.
