They faced suffering though. It was in their everyday lives it wasn’t something foreign to them from what we know especially from the short stories.Dunno where you see they showed no willingness to accept that, it was moreso due their their civilization style it wasn’t as common an occurrence as it is with sundered. As i said before he buys time yes, for them to be able to solve the issue. Also i don’t know if Emet and Hythlo specifically agree to the deity part, if it’s the end portion of EW you’re meaning, as much as it is helping the sundered is the only way to keep the planet from being killed by Meteion. In the end though Venat relied on a deity to help solve her problems so it rings a bit hollow in that regard. Even we, the WoL have relied on primals for things. Look at Eden and even the end of EW when we literally have primals summoned.
