I would firstly propose to take 'deity' or 'God' out of the equation altogether; supposing ours to be a possibly created Universe, all we can know about its Creator is that it possessed whatever power, intellect, and rationality were required to set forth a Universe of precisely the attributes we see before us, no less (obviously) and more importantly no more than that. So the question really is, what might motivate an entity with the ability to create a Universe to exercise this ability?
