Anthropomorphizing nature is an easy trap to fall into largely because the electric hams in our skulls is programmed to reach conclusions as quickly as possible for the sake of evaluating our reality, and we tend to put a lot of trust in that. Applying human traits to a non-human entity is just one of the many shortcuts we take to reach said conclusions.

not sure if you are questioning or seconding my opinion. but anyway - in hindsight many anthropomorphisms in the past have been closer to what we now consider known about nature than what was considered scientific state back then. science considered most animals as emotionless and mindless machines only few decades ago. now even fish have to be treated humane - and don't get me started on mammals and octopusses. from that point of view anthropomorphizing deserves some historical merit and shouldn't be easily discarded as childish nonesense.
