Well, like you said, they were a donation - Morrison wasn’t doing GL, he was enjoying Johns’ tenure, he let him have it. Simple as that. As for the Alphas themselves, while they’re part of the recentering of the Corps around police and military tropes in a way I feel takes away a lot of the charm and mystique of the concept, it makes sense there’d be supervisors, the idea of merged Lantern/Manhunters is interesting and represents an intrusion into Green Lantern’s world in a way that means they’d work even in a more freewheeling setup, and the concept of space-cop IA is too fun to pass up.
