Agree with others that the simple answer is that they want to run it. At least I think that's what it is for Kendall. I think for Roman it has to do with being unable to let go of his dad and accept his death, and the dual loss of his dad and the company so close in time is too disorienting for him, so holding onto he company (especially in an underhanded, crappy way) is more appealing to him than simply selling the company (in an above-board, logical way). He's messed up and without his dysfunctional relationship with his dad and this albatross of a company hanging around his neck, he might actually have to deal with his damage.

I think for Kendall it's all ego and wanting to finally prove he's as good as his dad.[/quote]

Agree with this. They want to prove they can run it.

They also have no purpose in their lives without it. They are utterly incompetent and know they could not build something as successful as their father did, even with all the money in the world.

The premise is a bit flawed in that way- like the Roy kids, most people raised by someone like Logan are very aware that they will never be as successful as their parents and could not run their businesses as successfully. They will have been given every advantage in life and will usually not have the grit required to build a business that way. Many won’t even have an interest in the work required, and would just quietly take the money and live a lavish life doing whatever passion projects. Shiv seems to be the most of that mindset at this point, and is the most realistic is that sense. [/quote]
