There is also a longer review process with the god of craft because of his higher popularity. All of these made Legion go for the underdog, who is the god of steam.
The god of steam is a relatively new god. He is competing with the god of craft, so the services he offers are more competitive. Legion intends to take advantage of this.
Not many humans will make the decision of which god to pray to for a patent from his point of view. Most humans will make the decision based on faith, not benefits. It is because they fear and are in awe of the gods.
He also fears the gods. They are very powerful and dangerous, so it is the smart thing to be afraid of them.
But as for being in awe of them, that is something he is incapable of. He doesn't have a single bone capable of awe in his body.
He can't have faith in the gods either. He is just not that gullible.
