...I'd be curious if their absence is down to the shambolic nature (and that's being kind) of the BCAFC takeover giving them cold feet or maybe they weren't that involved in the first place and it was just name dropping to gain credibility, although that's certainly not true of Daryl Morey who was involved enough to be quoted in the press about it all...
I had thought that he might be lurking under one of the Teams's "nom-de-belette", to help keep the People's Republic of China quiet during the NFT drop...{?}
He also agrees with you that he was easily their MVP and reminded me of THIS piece:
While it's easy to imagine club token holders voting for their starting 11 each week, a press release stressed the importance of analytics for club success—as does the inclusion of Morey in the ownership group. Morey is the basketball equivalent of Billy Beane, the Oakland A's front office executive profiled in "Moneyball" for his incorporation of advanced statistics in personnel and tactical decisions.
“Throughout my entire career, I’ve always been on the lookout for new approaches that can change the game and give teams an edge,” said Morey. “By bringing new technologies and fresh thinking to the world of English football, I believe WAGMI United could be on the leading edge of a revolution in how sports franchises are run—both on the field and in the front office."

He reckons it is a good job that they are so "open & transparent" about these things...
...otherwise he would need to spend a lot more time, down the weasel hole of gloom.
