If I may but in, I have something to add, contrary to your statement. In the chapter when Yamamoto faced the fake Yhwach (Royd in disguise), Yamamoto commented on how Yhwach has never (and apparently still doesn't) care much for his subordinates. Now, considering that Royd's transformation ability allows him to copy an individuals personality and memories along with their appearance (to make the disguise that much more convincing [to the individual who apparently knows him quite well), this was a facet of Yhwach's real personality (as Royd was obviously trying to make the disguise as top notch as he could). Add to the fact that those subordinates were, for a fact Quincies. That one "compliment" he gave Royd, was more than likely mockery/an, dissonance of kindness. Something we know Aizen (another "Big Bad" of the series) does quite often.
