In my experience, gods rarely have our best interests at heart — even in the dream, when we may have had the best of intentions, that distance from humanity made it so that the scale of our involvement and our limited understanding of peoples' lives often led to as much harm as it did good.
The things that are done to Bearers as a matter of course are monstrous, but I can't tell you the number of them who have refused my aid over the years, and remained within the familiar confines of their chains instead. You can't force people to be saved, as much as you might like to. For many, even terrible familiarity is preferable to the unknown.
Don't mistake my meaning, you're right in thinking that it would be wise to have care about what information you choose to share... after you've done it, there are few ways to control it. As gods, we lived to repeat our mistakes. As men, perhaps we will do better.
