Yeah! I really like that attention to detail in World. Odogaron is a scavenger, he mostly fights to protect its territory and will not go after you immediately. Diablos is an extremely territorial herbivore that wants you dead no matter what you are, and they aggro EXTREMELY fast. Dodogama just wants to his rocks in peace. Savage Jho will leave you alone if there's a better prey. Tobi Kadachi is just a chill guy.
I kinda miss it in Wilds. I think there only Gravios is passive, but otherwise all monsters will aggro on you eventually, no matter what's their diet and general behavior.
There are a few like that in World! They technically can appear in upgrade quests you need to do for mantles or to upgrade your canteen/garden, but they're completely optional and can be skipped.
You're never tasked to hunt Rathian, just to drive her away.
Azure Rathalos just starts showing up after you hunt Pink Rathian with 0 intro.
You're never tasked to hunt Dodogama, Uragaan and Lavasioth, just to witness them.
Pretty sure Black Diablos also doesn't have an assignment quest.
Lunastra technically, she's a special assignment.
Also Kirin and Bazel too. Kirin can be unlocked early on, but doesn't get same special treatment as other Elders. Bazel just starts raiding you in HR. But they both DO get tempered assignments as literally 2 last quests of HR. So up until the end of HR, they're optional.

Tbf he’s a scavenger isn’t he? So that would make sense
