If your continued existence relies on the people around you dying so you can re-absorb power that you lent them, would you surround yourself with loyal allies you care about? Or cannon fodder about whom you could care less? I think Yhwach probably enjoys having people like Bazz and the arrancar from the first chapters of this arc around, knowing that even though they hate him, they are still going to serve him one way or another--alive, or by dying.
