Term limits would also remove anyone with any potential to collect enough power to change the system.
And there is nothing that prevents the replacements from abusing the power and control afforded to them in similar or worse ways. They'll be kicked out regardless of what they do, so why care about the long term?

I'm of the opinion that much of it is from personal connections, favors, and dirt that can be used as leverage. None of that would easily transfer to the next official. If power is largely collected by the office itself, or the party behind the talking head, then I agree replacing them more often may not help much.
