On Those Who Lack(?) "Cosmic Indifference"
“Patrick” loves humans, but especially if it’s not viewing a creature through that lens of its ‘near-mortal’ aspect, humankind really can’t rely on its protection. It may well care more for an alien species out to destroy Earth, or be unwilling to provoke a fight with a current ally. Though it does care more for certain specific people, being one of them doesn’t really help matters, for the most part. There’s no way to know who else it is fond of, or if it has other priorities it would consider more important… and Patrick, who only knows this tiny sliver of his own mind, cannot help much with that. There is a strong chance it will weep for you, in its way, but still let your cities burn. It loves you, but a greater love could stay its hand.
Or hey, maybe it’s dealing with one of its favorites; someone it would readily destroy worlds to aid. That’s all well and good, until that favorite is not you.
The sinkhole entity, on the other hand, is pretty much solely focused on its own little domain, and desperately wants things to be perfectly right for its people. It wants to make them happy, it wants to keep them safe, and it recognizes that those two things are sometimes incompatible. It tries so hard, but it frequently doesn’t understand humans and ends up doing some horrifying things as a result. And as much as it may like them, it’s highly unlikely to seek to understand humans in anything close to the way Patrick will post-awakening, either. It just wants to know enough to care for them properly. Should it see that they're in danger, or unhappy, it's prone to taking what most humans would see as drastic measures in order to correct for that.
