Bee had a team for a whole season, then OP came in the season 1 finale. Then he left with his own team in season 2 whilst Bee led his own, then returned in the finale where he tried to lead again but gone in an argument. Then in the final season OP only appears for a handful of episodes. Your point kinda stands but OP was still kinda gone for the first 24 episodes of season 1 which was a good chunk of time for Bee to lead.

Rodimus: Did nothing wrong people misplaced anger
Smokescreen: never actually succeeded him
Bee: Optimus came back after he led a team for 5 minutes
Elita: literally was going to steal the matrix until Optimus gave it to her, then she proceeds to disown people who remain loyal to him.
