Just taking what you want and leaving felt a bit too onesided for a character largely based on balance and reciprocity. So in exchange for all the data he gains and all fun he has during his travels, he now discretely ensures that things work out well enough for them ("Pleasing the ones who please you is only natural. Everything is a matter of balance.").

On the plus side, it allows him to meddle a bit into the lives and destiny of entire planes, as well as building long-term interests and connections outside of Selforge, playing Civilization from behind the scenes while having his very marginal interventions beautifully justified by the benevolent repayment of a collective debt.
