From my understanding, that's not really true, Dude.
Dave Filoni is the Co-Executive Producer, co-writer and has directed two episodes out of eight. Favreau has directed any episodes to date while Filoni's role has been expanded in Season Two.
Favreau came up with the idea, pitched Iger and KK, then began writing the story arc. And while Favreau pops in from time to time, he's not there on-set every single day.
I don't mean to reduce his role in any way and he's most certainly the show creator. The LED tech that he first used for The Jungle Book is now being used for The Mando (and all upcoming Disney + TV shows), so he' certainly a huge part of the show but he has other projects that require his time and focus, so he's not really "The Showrunner" in the normal sense of the word.
Favreau also understands that Dave Filoni has had great success with Star Wars TV series and trusts him implicitly.
