Hi Hunter. You question is fine and you would not be blocked for politely asking about such a thing.

The only thing that Alatramp cannot do as admin that the founder (or bureaucrat) can, is promote other users to admin. Admin rights should give him access to all other wiki tasks and powers. What did you mean by "most of the good things, he needs to do, he cannot do"?

Also, to clarify, adopting a wiki does not remove the rights of the existing (inactive) bureaucrats or admins, so that is not any different either in this case. Whenever the founder chose to return he would be able to contribute to running the wiki again.

I appreciate that you want to help out a friend, but unless there is some pressing need for more admins there to help him, I'm not sure he really was held back in any way by having the founder promote him instead of me.
