as @Brendan has clarified today, the treasury is the only real - albeit crucial - asset left for governance, so it made sense to pursue the establishment of a more formal and legal entity to protect it.
we always talk about capture resistance in context of DAOs and protocols. with the unfortunate tendency of US government agencies to consider everything belonging to its regulatory and enforcement sphere if only one US citizen is involved, this term has another meaning. a more legal structure that is established outside of the US will hopefully prevent such infringement.
