I very much disagree with this take. All the excerpts and other interactions we have with Emet-Selch demonstrates that he tends to act grouchy, but feels another way. You're taking his words at face value, when he's always been pretty dishonest. In Elpis, he's shown to be very much a tsundere, acting bothered and peeved to be doing anything, but always pulling through anyway. He knows when Hythlodaeus is trying to manipulate him into doing things, he just plays along anyway. His disillusioned self through Shadowbringers pretends to be this unhinged lunatic, but it's to mask that he's actually lonely and tired from bearing the burden he has for as long as he has. In Ultima Thule, he offers the Warrior of Light incentives to keep traveling and exploring and acknowledges them as the successor to Azem, smiling while he does so. And despite saying that he wants nothing to do with us in response to Hythlodaeus saying he hopes we meet again in another life, the cutscene clearly shows Emet-Selch looking at the Warrior of Light and smiling again before returning to the aetherial sea. By all accounts, he acts the same way to Hythlodaeus and has only ever complained about Azem, but canon establishes the three of them as the best of friends.
