Creeping winter is a little more prosaic as an end-of-days scenario, but avoids gigadeath. The only people (hypothetically) complaining about Ragnarok are the hieros. The hieros are just teleologically ensuring their own survival, attempting to make the snake bite its tail. They don't even know if the humanity of Urth are the ones who will eventually become themselves, but are willing to drown most of them on the off-chance. With scruples like that, who wants to be semi-divine?
