What if they did create the world, but couldn't really control it? Like everything went horribly wrong, but at that point they couldn't do anything about it?
As much as i love this game, i played it about a year ago so i don't remember enought to post a detailed answer, but this was kind of what i figured out by the time i finished it.
PS: Dude, 1/4th of your answer was a legit answer, and the rest was just you curb stomping the other guy for liking the game as it is, they didn't even insult you, please chill out.
