I think he just... likes paperwork.

To be clear: Death's realm also has paperwork, she just doesn't seem responsible for any of it. Dream could also delegate. He just refuses to.

I'm sorry, but every time I look at show!Hob a part of my heart hurts because they cut so much intelligence from his character. And I realise it's because Kingsley stole the show in 01x06 so they couldn't take the risk but damn. Hob's speach with Death in volume 10 changed my view on the world and then when I watched it in the show, I was like.. That's it? The guy was quoting a poem, reminiscing about history, his life, thinking about what is death, and the passage of time. He's so wise, why did they take it away? He acted like he didn't even know about the existence of other creatures and magic. It was like the show was trying to prove to us why Hob still wants to live, by saying that there's still so much uncovered. But not in the comic. He wants to live just for the sake of living. Because he's a metaphor for humanity and humanity doesn't need a reason to exist. We just do.
