Because Remedios can't function properly if she has to take orders from people who outrank her if she doesn't personally like them and feel they would exercise favoritism towards her. Consider her relationship with Neia. That's kinda how her mind works, so if she was subordinate rather than superior, she'd interpret everything through the lens of being picked on because that's what she thinks a superior would do to anyone they don't particularly like.

This quickly erases most of her utility to the Liberation Army once Caspond is in charge and it becomes apparent that he's not going to just agree with everything she says. She quickly becomes a liability that needs to be kept away from anything important.

Ultimately, one could say that was true from the beginning and that Calca being friends with her was a significant factor in bringing down her reign. But she was certainly very strong compared to the typical level of the New World. Calca was over level 22 and Kelart was over level 29, and they both considered her significantly stronger.
