Well, technically, the Patriots aren't humans at all, they're sufficiently advanced AIs (this was mostly revealed in Metal Gear Solid 4, though even Metal Gear Solid 2 made very clear to Raiden that they weren't human at all. In the same speech, they even implied that they're one and the same with America, if not the country itself, then certainly its values.). And Mega Man X is a free-will android, not a human (not to mention X was the opposite of the types who revel in using their power on others, he's too afraid of his own powers and capabilities to even attempt to save his friend from a clear threat due to said threat using him as a human shield). As far as why he would give free will if he wishes to manipulate his creation, simple really: same reason the Patriots managed to engineer revolts against them that they also engineered to fail, like Ocelot explained here (and it's pretty obvious that Solidus and Dead Cell had free will and that the Patriots allowed for it, otherwise they literally would not have been able to rebel at all). Or heck, how Palpatine didn't even need to, say, rob the entire populace of their free will via a Jedi Mind Trick, and in fact even banked on rebellious elements and considered their rebellions a bit of entertainment for him (it's hard to say whether Palpatine truly qualifies as human due to his supernatural powers). In fact, had I been God, I'd give them free will (ie, the innate desire to kill me and try to destroy my existence, the entire point of free will) specifically for the satisfaction that I can still prove my omnipotence and omniscience by constantly forcing them to do my will anyway, and go out of my to do so. It wouldn't be out of love, it would be out of true megalomania, to give them an apparent advantage just to crush their hopes in the end anyways. To put it another way, it's sort of like how Shan Yu (okay, now THAT I'll admit is an actual human example) constantly tried to attack the Imperial Chinese directly despite being at an obvious disadvantage at times in the film Mulan, many times even deliberately giving them that advantage: Simply to prove his might and superiority to others, and in fact, He'd actually revel in them hating Him and their revolting against him simply because it gives him an excuse to flex his muscles, knowing full well that they can't kill him because of his omniscience and omnipotence. That if anything is even WORSE than simply making them out to be puppets without free will at all. Another example is Infinite, who unlike Shan Yu is obviously not human at all, either literally or figuratively (certainly not after he got the Phantom Ruby in the case of the latter). He literally says he doesn't mind people revolting against him as long as he crushes them afterwards to destroy any sense of hope in others, even when such actions aren't part of his immediate agenda.

And as far as what he can and can't do, considering he's omnipotent and omniscient, that means "can't" isn't even in the dictionary for him, so it means he can only do stuff.

I've already got a lot of mental scars regarding God thanks to seeing a certain scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, which led me to think he IS indeed the type to just blow people up for a sheer laugh.
