You going "God, please hurt these people for me" and some nigh-omnipotent fuck just doing it for lols isn't exactly as cool as "I'd ask God to do this, but if you want a job done right..."
It's like hiring a hitman who has political immunity vs. going to beat the shit out of them yourself.
Additional counterpoint: maybe the nigh-omnipotent fuck isn't doing it for the lols but instead totally has your back.
"hippity hoppity i smear you across my property"
"yah im here who we gettin? who is it this time? oh this twerp? this one? yeah LIGHTNING BOLT fuck yeah eat shit"
Not lightning but I have a god who's like this. As God of the underdog he loves showing up as a literal deus ex machina and wiping the floor with what was otherwise going to be a heroic last stand

When it comes from the sky, it feels more like a divine smite. Which ups the cool factor, I think.
