The why on Captain Marvel is purely a legal thing.

As part of the lawsuit settlement that Marvel won in the 1970s, they must continually produce an ongoing book with the specific title "Captain Marvel" in order to retain the copyright that DC wants to wrest away.

With Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters stepping away, they're giving Margaret Stohl a fresh start on a title that the basically have to produce monthly or they lose. (It's the same reason she had an individual, self-titled ongoing during Secret Wars when so many other major characters didn't.)
