I really disagree with this. I guess there was a void in the pop landscape which allowed Rihanna to sneak in. But she would've snuck in regardless of whether it was Britney or not. I don't think the GP has ever viewed them in the same way, nor do they fit the same niche. Umbrella went from Mary J Blige to Britney to Rihanna. The song wouldn't have been received the same way had it come from the first two. Umbrella was perfect for a hungry newcomer.
If Britney was still completely functional, looked good, and had some input towards her career, she would still be around. Her breakdown in 2007 and mental illness is what ended her. There was room for all three of them but Britney never truly recovered
