There’s got to be something more concrete than that, should the guardian be the problem…

Laws are for generalities. Courts are for specificities. The situation you describe is resolved in the courts, not by legislation.
If the guardian is the problem, the courts assign a new guardian. That guardian can be another relative, or it could be a department of the state.
