Tolkien was a Catholic. Tolkien put many elements based on his own Catholic faith in his lore. To an extent, Eru is based on God the Father (not in an allegorical way, as CS Lewis does in many of his books). All of that considered, why would he make the character he based on the God of his own religion a wicked, malevolent tyrant?
