Thats a false equivalency. While the Quincy were "created" by Yhwach I dont think you can make the same point about the Shinigami. Shinigami arent born it is a job its a soul that has so much spiritual power that it can attain supernatural abilities. Secondly the Soul King has the most powerful Shinigami in existence as Guards for a reason, it doesn't fight. Their existence is to protect him and carry out his will. I dont see him making any appearance outside his palace.
