As for Storm, perhaps she wants to encourage Kitty to continue leading. She has always been a mother figure for Kate, so perhaps this is just Storm's choice to help Kate grow more confident as a leader. It's possible that Storm has other reasons for not being in charge, she may be the representative for the Krakoan government as well, maybe she is trade minister of their new nation. Storm may be an ambassador and the one that has the authority to negotiate treaties with other countries.
