You are right - we saw what happened to Richmond when their sugar daddy moved over to footie.

A benefactor has a role but if the fundamentals that allow a long term future are not in place then the club is potentially vulnerable.
But they move on, die, lose interest or run out of money or their business needs change and the people charged with running the businesses take a view that being the sponsor of a rugby club has to be justified financially, so can't be seen as long term.
