I mean, we basically laid down the mother of all prophecies, we are a being from the future, detailing events that happen. For Venat to not do anything about it would be like Rand in Wheel of Time (books) ignoring the prophecy marking him as the Dragon Reborn.

That being said, she clearly states her intentions and motives during the cutscene after Elpis, her whole reason for Sundering the world and making preparations for Etheirys to either flee the Star, or for the Warrior of Light to go and face Meteion is because she believes so fully in the strength of man that she wants them to be completely free, whereas those enthralled to Zodiark wanted to keep the bubble of "Utopia" they once had before the Final Days began. Everything she does is to make us see that while there is suffering in the world, even as fractured, imperfect beings, we are able to overcome despair, overcome nihilism and find light and oy in life, even if it is fleeting.
