It's just that some aren't outspoken about it (I recall Garuda calling the Ixali her children, for instance).

The only ones that didn't seem to care much about their followers are Leviathan (who outright consumed that one Sahagin priest when he became aether) or Bismarck (who's more of a wild beast that consumes anything almost indiscriminately).
Garuda and Ifrit don't either really.

Both use them for power, nothing more, nothing less. If they were to suddenly stop granting that, they'd become as hated as everything else. Incidentally, the ones they "love" are all fully tempered, so the only way they can lose them is through death.
