Except that Varys is pre-occupied with another, much more worthy/well suited contender for throne whose name or gender I can't disclose for spoiler reasons. Gendry is not going to sit the Iron Throne unless every other contender inexplicably drops dead. With the Lannisters, Baratheons, Targaryens and Starks vying for power, who would take a lone bastard smith seriously? Robert didn't get the Throne because he was the heir, he took it by force.
