Fedorov only wants to be the big chief and is unreasonably unable to accept any other title. This sort of ego and intransigence doesn't convey wisdom, modesty, flexibly, or intelligence; it conveys entitlement and stupidity. Thus, Zelensky made a wise choice regardless that people demand their young, brash celebrity who fought the old but brave, Soviet-trained general. "It takes two to tango" and both possible sources of personality conflict were removed equally, eventually, under public pressure as a concession. Defensive war strategy and HR decisions cannot be made by direct democracy or public opinion.
Either Zelenskyy is the wartime boss and has the authority to make decisions after some input or not, but he needs to make the final say and not be second-guessed constantly. Rule by committee at the very top doesn't scale, and it doesn't scale in wartime especially. People are free to have and express opinions though, even if they maybe projecting anger from other matters towards something trivial (bikeshedding).

I'm not totally convinced it's all over for Fedorov. Zelensky may not be keen but the people, parliament and funders have a say too.
