Because not all desires should be satisfied. Some people desire to torture animals, and they will criticize whatever stops them.
Even a God which satisfied all GOOD desires would get lots of criticism, because people often don't know what's good for them.
No, something that satisfy all desires would simultaneous satisfy the desires of people who wants to torture animals, and those who would not have animals tortured.
They would satisfy all desires, include those who desires some desire to not be satisfied.
You said earlier:
Quote:Nothing is above criticism unless it satisfies all possible desires that can exist.
This was in reference to Ahriman's question about whether God could be good if it is also possible to criticize him.
I don't understand why you think that God would want to satisfy all desires, or why this would put God above criticism. It is possible to criticize the satisfaction of some desires. It would certainly be possible to criticize the satisfaction of ALL desires, since some desires are bad.
This seems like a strange tangent, since I don't know of any theology which claims that God's role is to satisfy everyone.
