If they were leaders, they would have final say on votes, RfRs, etc, however we had a vote that was explicitly for disallowing vetoes like that and as such admins, and in effect buros, do not have a more important opinion than community members with no special rights. In reality, all buro rights really are is one more right that admins do not possess, and inability to be demoted by anyone besides staff. I would say that a buro position proves you are one of the more trusted admins by the community, but while it may have been in the past, it is not a leadership position.
