They want to be the oppressed underdog because every narrative they've ever encountered portrays said underdog as the hero.

The peril of having mythical struggle as one of your cultural pillars.

Not to get all up-yours-woke-moralists about it but a bunch of ancient prehistoric myths concern the overthrow of the old cosmic order to usher in the new current age. It’s a very old and common story. So even the gods have to be an underdog at some point to justify being on top. They had to earn it.
