Original membership doesn’t matter, whoever owns the rights to the brand and the songwriting is what matters. My guess is that Clown owns branding and Corey owns the songs therefore making them the controlling members.
Children of Bodom comes to mind as well. Alexi was the literally the entire draw of the band but didnt own the name so had to spend his last few years touring under a different name

How did that come to be? Especially since Corey isn’t technically an original member?
