If their are disagreements in the timeline or the reasoning for firing Shokin I would like you to source them.
I for one am skeptical. If for no other reason that during the highly public impeachment hearings no such disagreements came up. Something that would have given at least some valid reasoning for Trump to ask Zelinsky to investigate Hunter. NO REPUBLICAN challenged the timeline or the reasoning for Shokin's firing. Sure there was inuendo but no one standing up making any verifiable claim. I know this, because I followed the proceedings.
As for your question. I strongly suspect that Burisma was hoping to get some benifit from having the son of the vice-president on their board, but I content that we don't have enough information to find out what that benifit was or even that Burisma themselves had an idea. Maybe they figured a Georgetown and Yale educated lawyer, with ties to the Vice President, even one with substance abuse problems might be worth a punt. Maybe Hunter said he could do something for them. Maybe Joe did promise to do something. Their are plenty of reasons why, not all of them are nefarious, and until you have something it's just speculation.
I'll put it like this. Kushner created his firm the day after he left the White House. He got 2 billion from Saudi Arabia. Why? I strongly suspect I know. I even think you do.
Trump himself has several golf courses now earmarked for Saudi Arabias super golf tour. A contract worth billion's. Why? I strongly suspect I know. I even think you do.
These are people who are directly implicated not the son of someone who had some power. But the guy that negotiated US policy directly with a sovereign nation and the person that set the policy. And yet I believe it takes more than suspicion to investigate someone. Like an actual clear indication of a crime.

I’m not aware of trump asking Zelensky to investigate hunter, he wanted Zelensky to investigate why joe had the prosecutor fired.
So, you’re right, it’s speculation as to why hunter got hired at burisma, but also, it’s speculation why Jared got 2B from the saudis…and both are being investigated.
