Death giving immortality to Hob and having Dream meet him once every 100 years was sort of an equivalent of a person giving their sibling a dog so they would go out of their house. It's like "here, a buddy with whom you have to go out regularly. His mouth does not close and he smells sometimes but dude you need to touch grass once in a while". And Dream reluctantly took it but after a short time (for him) he ended up going out of his way to get his friend treats. (The treats being an extinct wine he took from somebody else's dream.)
