More the point is that anyone experienced enough to run Doctor Who will have their own projects they want to do, and would be less willing to give up several years of their career to become an employee borrowing someone else’s toys.

Literally the only person willing to take over from Moffat was Chris Chibnall, and only then because the BBC told him they would have to cancel the show otherwise.

They could look at American showrunners, but Doctor Who is such a cultural institution that such a course of action would be very controversial.
