Yeah, I loved that line: "Congratulations on saying the biggest f**king number." It was a great sum-up.
FWIW, I don't have much of an opinion on whether they could have taken it over. Just that they'd have been bad at it at that point. But as you say, Logan was a narcissist, and nothing they ever did would be good enough...which is a belief that makes itself true, if you raise your children with it in mind. Maybe they had no chance (a decent position, given how presumably hard it is to be a well-rounded person growing up in that kind of opulence), but whether they did or not, he didn't really afford them one either. And then the desire to prove him wrong becomes the focus, which in turn makes them unfit. So there's a good question about causality either way.
I have seen a handful of interviews over the last couple of weeks where the actors and showrunners/writers were clearly at odds about some of the characters' arcs and fates and whatnot, which I think is pretty interesting.
