That is simply a perspective from story telling. In the same way why would demons need to use temptation and deals to collect souls in several tales rather than take them by force? They would certainly have the power.

Yet (again from a story telling perspective) there's the recurring theme of evil beings assuming harmeless forms and tempting people into their willing demises.
