I always thought that the secondary champ should be able number one contender to the point where they can get a title shot if they choose to vacate their title. It doesn't have to be as elaborate as LU gift of the gods... but the idea that the IC or US champs can surrender their title for a chance at the world title to me made sense.
But it's also limiting storywise, so I can see why they don't do that.
It makes so much sense for a guy like Roman to go after the IC title because it helps get a shot at the world title.
With the gift of the gods, you had an ongoing storyline.
I get why the WWE doesn't retire the US and IC title due to their history, but AEW doesn't have history.
The Bucks had mentioned the idea of a secondary title requiring 10 wins with it and you get a title shot if you choose so way back when.

That makes sense too. I just think a secondary champion should always be considered at least one of the logical number one contenders. They should arguably be considered the number 2 guy in the company.
But Lex Luger as US champion was really the only secondardy champion I can recall who ever got repeated chances at the world title. In fact he almost got too many back in the day.
