That's because they are disabled. Unlike capital G God who wasn't at all weakened when He made all of creation, the Aedra weakened themselves when they created Nirn. Technically, the Daedric Princes would be stronger than the Aedric divinities because A) they didn't weaken themselves in creating the world and B) they are immortal whilst the Aedric deities are not. They're literally mortal gods. And yet they allow the mortals to siphon off their energies in the form of blessings like at the same time, keeping the Daedra out with their Covenant with the mortals. So, not only did they weaken themselves when creating the planet, not only do they constantly have to dole out energy in the form of blessings, but they also have to keep STRONGER beings out, beings that aren't mortal like they are. That's a lot to do everyday outside of the odd intervention they do.

The Hero of Kvatch figured it out anyways. Fuck, in my first playthrough, I figured it out quite easily, so there was no need for some Aedric divinity to go all Navi on me and hold my hand like I'm a fucking toddler on a bike. And Akatosh is kinda busy having created Nirn and doling out energy every day, so no shit, Akatosh and the other Aedric gods are gonna need champions like the Hero of Kvatch or the Dragonborn.

They don't do more because they can't. Also, I don't see you making similar critiques of "good" Daedric princes like Azura or Meridia. Fuck, a player playing his cards right in Morrowind can kill the final boss in the first five minutes. I'm sure Azura, who isn't weakened by making Nirn, can spare more than a few minions and some energy for the Nerevarine so they can go through the game's back door and kill Dagoth Ur.

At least Sanguine will wine and dine you first before plowing you. Bal won't. The Aedra can talk. That was definitely proven in Oblivion when trying to pray at an altar with an Infamy that exceeds your Fame. I don't think I'm asking them much, just do a little something more. I know they're weakened and they're constantly answering the prayers of millions of mortals every day, but can they at least pay attention to the crises at hand rather than send some pre-destined hero and stop giving a shit? I don't care if they just give some moral support, it's better than nothing. Sanguine gives his support via drinking, drugs, and sex, and I'd be much happier as a hero knowing there's someone I can go cry to when there's a serious problem in my quest, not to mention how beneficial it would be to my quest.

And yes, I'm aware of the differences between the sexual habits of Molag Bal and Sanguine. It was pretty obvious to begin with. Speaking of which, why do the people of Tamriel look down on Sanguine? Dude just wants merryment. He's almost like a cross between Dibella and Mara in that respect.
