It was obvious he would win as Francis rigged the process.

“108 of the 130 voting were new Cardinals under Francis. Francis put Prevost in charge of selecting Bishops to become new Cardinals. The deck was stacked.”
That is the settling fact and any “chaos” at the conclave was from the resistance trying and hoping Francis’ hand picked cardinals would not retain control - they did.
Never be fooled about the Vatican as it’s just like every other wealthy entity. The politics of attaining and maintaining control of the wealth and power corrupts everyone and everything. It’s important to remember all these supposedly “righteous” individuals are still human beings fraught with all the same weaknesses as the rest of us.
