I like to think them being equivalent gods having domains over concepts is an exaggeration, they're very powerful non-biological creatures born with the galaxy, so each galaxy would have its own, it's not just these ones for the whole universe
and they get to have absurd cosmic powers because they abuse similar shortcuts and cheatcodes as the ones the crypteks use, just on much larger scales because apparently their very nature is some sort of natural spaghetti-code forming an active knot in reality
and they each specialised in something because if you don't have some kind of gimmick, then it's a matter of strength alone and the stronger ctan eats the others
the nightbringer is not even the representation of death, it's the other way around, the various representations of death are a galaxy wide instinctual ptsd from the nightbringer doing its thing
