Despite the importance of magic in Glorantha, I don't think this is a given. A culture might not "work" as well as another, but still be the best suited to its environment (and thus hard to displace). It could be in an area nobody cares about. It could have powerful mundane advantages such as access to trade routes.
And "better" cultures may have disadvantages, such as many enemies, lack of access to the sea, internal dissension...
