Evil means selfish, not stupid. We know from Hilgya that overtly evil dwarves prospering in the afterlife is unusual because being overtly evil like that also means being overtly dishonorable. Which is a bad bet. So even if theyre selfish and power grabbing, its still in their best interests to play it straight, or at least protect the legitimacy of the institution as a whole, because otherwise they get the bad afterlife, lose all their power as the system is replaced with one that actually functions again, or both.
