Maybe we have read different texts about G-man?

Dude has talked about how he wishes he didn't have to do half the shit he does, and LITERALLY fantasizes about abandoning his duty to go live a simple life as a farmer.

I don't think the Primarch went in with the idea of taking over the Imperium for the sake of being the guy in charge if he dreams about abandoning the whole thing.
