There's a powerful board and ultra-wealthy donors, and they aren't going to be pushed around by some star prima donna, and the prima donnas know it and stay away. Alas, rather than go for someone energetic, imaginative and young but lesser-known, and maybe even American, they usually like their MDs conservative, older and European with (they assume) a healthy respect for their authority. Alan Gilbert was a special case with his family ties and history with the orchestra.
Contrast that with the Baltimore Symphony, who essentially made Marin Alsop their MD for life.
