Arceus opted to go this route in order to better interact with the world it created without being borderline incomprehensible or too powerful, thus allowing for a sense of mutual understanding between Creator and Creation, even if Creation hasn't quite yet gotten the full picture.
Giratina in this exact sense is basically Arceus' self-loathing given living form, and it isn't until PLA's Protagonist comes along that it comes to terms with the approach the greater Arceus took to creation and takes its duties seriously for righteous, balance-upholding purposes rather than petty ones.
