The idea is that that in, fact, the emperor is worshipped "artificially", I think. "Volunterily", when the god of chaos are personification of phenomenons common to nearly every single species in the galaxy: taboo, death, change, and violence.

Maybe, the 4 gods are the only one powerful enough to have their domain and have a conscience. Maybe the Emperor isn't as powerful of them because a major part of his power is still attached to his body (the Astronomican would be the proof).

Moreover, it's still 4 against 1, so I think that's an other reason. Still, your theory is interesting, and maybe true.
