It wouldn't be really fair to do so, but what they really should do is to fight against fake emperors and unfair AP generation, because it devalued the whole emperor idea. 3 and even 9 mil is not that many tbh if you can play Cyrodiil a lot, but if first place can generate all that amount in an hour while nobody looking - it is unfair and you will never overtake them.

5 years ago, iirc, during Mayhem I got an Emperor a second place asked me to stop farming because they wanted it badly, and I stopped, but I played bomber that time and I saw a peeeeeerfer opportunity. Well, it was huge 1M AP tick for solo defense because I killed 2 full groups of newbie players in ram and because of Mayhem and solo def, I got huge bonus, and second place was not happy about it They overtook me same evening, but that was a fun accident.

What else could be done is different rule for becoming an emperor, because currently it is pure grind and who spent more time in Cyrodiil can be emperor all the time, but what else can be done? Currently, almost every group tent to just capture a keep, and then paly inside as long as they can, and if they take a scroll, it is event better because they lure more people like this to have fun, but it is not something emperor would do, so successful keep capturing/defending during a campaign could be a requirement for an emperor, not just pure grind, but some good objectives too. But I doubt it is achievable, ZOs already gave up about Cyrodiil development.

What if you could only get Emperor once per campaign? It always feels like the same people getting emp, with no one else getting a look in

Currently, in PCEU Blackreach, the top player for AD is about 3 mil above 2nd place, and the top for DC is 9 mil above (EP is only 1.5 mil diff). No one else from those alliances would ever get a chance, because the score difference is too great

This should be how Emperor works in Vengeance. It's the less competitive campaign, so people would get a fair shot at Emperor. Vengeance also has a heightened population cap, so we would expect several unique Emperors over the duration of each Vengeance campaign.

For Gray Host, though, I think it should remain the way it is. That is a highly competitive campaign and people need motivation to keep earning AP even after they've earned Emperor that campaign.

Yes, be ok for vengeance since holding hands is what vengeance is all about. But never in Grey Host. Never there.
