True, the Soul king does all of that and probably more that we don't know about but the circumstances of the Soul King becoming practically dead is still a major mystery to us right now but most likely in my opinion, the Soul King in his nearly dead state because it doesn't make sense that he is dead has been reduced to the simpliest tasks of maintaining the universe or at least those three realms and maybe the Dangai however, Yhwach is able to actually do more than just that, he can reshape the Soul Society and Soul King's Palace with relative ease and without instantly becoming half dead so that at least indicates the Soul King would not have always been the way he was. I'm guessing Yhwach had a hand in his condition as we know it but this is all speculation which does have flaws. But inheritantly, a god that is made to be more than just a half alive thing that maintains the three realms would be able to defend itself from most threats.
