What makes you come to this conclusion? Given that Australia has been connected to the British crown since colonial days - before federation, and we haven’t gone down that path, I’m wondering what makes you think we will? The UK has had its attachment for half a millennia, they also seem to be doing ok.
In fact, I’ll go one further and give a counter-example: India detached from the monarchy nearly 80 years ago and I think they’ve gone way further down that path. Presidents Modi and Trump have a fair amount in common.
So, I think I disagree with you on this point. At least, I can’t see what you’re getting at.
