Most likely Hans was hoping for an heir before anything happened to Anna (then he could be at least regent for their child). Otherwise, in a pinch, sometimes a ruler who has shown themselves awesome even though they don't rule by birthright is accepted by the people and government. Catherine the Great practically stole Russia and she was pretty good to it.

Alternatively, if it was an elective monarchy, a random foreigner might have actually stood a decent chance of being chosen--might indeed have been preferred over a candidate of the native nobility, each of whom might have been offensive to others for one reason or another. IIRC, this is how a French prince got elected King of Poland in the 16th century.

I think the bigger reason for that was that being King of Poland was such an awful job that no one wanted it.
