Interesting that the power struggle was often framed as Marko vs Horner, but obviously there must have been other factions internally if they’re both gone.

The rumours are that Austrian HQ wanted more control over the F1 operations, and Marko tried to sign Alex Dunne from the McLaren Development Program without their approval, which sort of gave them an excuse to finally get rid of the last of the old F1 guard. Here's an article from The Race sort of hitting all the Marko bullet points.
