[WH40K] Why are there no more Warp Gods besides the main 4? (5 if you count Malal/Malice)

If the Warp is affected by strong emotions or thoughts, and the Warp Gods are a result of those emotions coalescing and gaining consciousness, then why haven't more Warp Gods formed from other powerful emotions like Hope or Love or even Sadness/Depression? On a side note, why isn't Malal really mentioned in the 40K story anymore?

There are plenty of minor warp gods. You just don't hear about them as much because they're not as powerful and therefore don't attract as many cultists. Usually this is because the emotions they feed on are not as prevalent among Warp-sensitive races.

Malal is a special case. He feeds off of the power of Chaos antagonistically, and so he's only powerful when they are powerful. If Chaos gains more territory in the galaxy, he may rise in power again.
