Probably it has not been considered that the general assembly of a chapter is still a stakeholder.
In this case, for a better access to external funds, several chapters may evaluate if it makes sense to move their legal status from a no profit association to a foundation where the old no profit association may continue to be a simple stakeholder.
In this case there will be nonsense to continue to have a general assembly and probably neither a bylaws.

Basically if WMF is asking to find external funds to reduce the risk, the consequence is that WMF is also declaring to would be a stakeholder with less importance and less impact in the decision of the strategy of the chapter.
That's a very good point. but we can rely that entities stay true on their bylaws that, having been examined as part of the affiliation process should all point towards the movement mission (in their own contextualized wa). In other words this is when AffComm work kicks in (in the long term).
