Director not only doesn't have control of the final product, they barely have say over the project being made.
They exist to streamline the gameplay and development process.
Removing them entirely changes nothing if the team knows how to combine everything.

And no, game directors have 0 recoarse over changes made to the game they worked on with the exception of if their work is stolen. In fact the only reason last of us 1 wasn't dog shit is because changes kept getting made over Neil Druckmans head.
