Dictatorship had a pretty clean run of several thousand years there. Sure, dynasties changed, but never the actual system.
Also, consider the attractiveness of dictatorship. I think that everybody would like to be a dictator. Who wants to share power? Not me. I want to be in control, of my forum, my project, my game.
So, my second paragraph kind of addresses that. It’s never actually about one person having the power, as a government system.
One-person control over something, backed by externally imposed laws, is a completely different thing. You don’t have to worry about your forum members poisoning you and physically taking control of your server.

you think ancient and medieval monarchies were dictatorships? uh…
Well the breaking here is the corruption. The 2 different flavors of that. Still ostensibly dictatorship or democracy but not.
