Perhaps the MB is not merely *rising* to that role. Perhaps it is filling that role *precisely*.

Consider the comparison **you've** made between the Tur and the MB: The Tur (and it's relatives, such as the SA) were the standard-bearers for centuries. The a major upheaval occurred, in which a new standard-bearer appeared (the MB), which focused only on a particular section of the prior one, concentrating on those halachos considered most relevant for the times.

Is this not exactly what the Tur did to the Rambam?

And the Rambam to the Gemara?
