It might have more to do with men being able to safely father so many more children. 50ish seems the record for mothers, but fathers could have hundreds of kids. On top of that, maternal mortality rates were high, so a matriarch has a chance of dying with every kid.

well you could still have kings its just the bloodline would run through the female side and you can still go back like when a king dies. Also contrast that with no combat deaths.

Why would there be no combat deaths? It's not like the more matriarchal societies throughout history didn't go to war.

I mean if we are talking all the other stuff the same with medieval europe basically. Doesn't have to be but it went with the still king thing and matrilineal just being the inheritance line.
