Assuming that is true, one possible reason is that it helps logistically. It costs a lot and takes a lot of time to hold elections. States may not want to burden the state with to many elections so its easier to give that power to the executive. Since the executive is elected, it can be argued to still be democratic to operate in this way because if the people don’t like who is appointed they can change the executive and new appointees will be appointed.
