Why did the Netherlands become a monarchy?

Did the Batavian experience help explain why the Dutch adopted a monarchy?

Postwar great powers favored monarchies, while some Dutch support is attributed to hopes for a government more willing to act in the nation's long-term interest.

One explanation for the Dutch monarchy is that the victorious monarchies reshaping Europe after the revolutionary wars favored another monarchy in the Netherlands. Some Dutch support is also attributed to the hope of steadier government after years of factional paralysis. The institutional argument is that a dynasty has an interest in preserving a state for its successors, encouraging a longer planning horizon. Hereditary legislators similarly have reasons to think beyond the next election, even when pursuing their own interests. This is an argument for the potential advantages of constitutional monarchy, with elected politicians judged more prone to short-term decisions.
