The lore about these planes are that they're the dreams of the gods, right? And the god you can see and fight is a dream self or avatar. I'd argue that a person who is dreaming does not necessarily have a great deal of rational thought. If I'm the god of hate and I'm dreaming and a bunch of dudes who think they're hot shit show up in my dream out of nowhere, I may well just want them dead without stopping to think "hmm, are they worshipping me?".
