I enjoy reading them, although I probably won't comment much for fear unintentionally spoiling something.

That said, Oathbringer spoilers for the Windrunner 4th ideal.

I hasn't been explicitly revealed in the text, but there is a chapter epigraph from Oathbringer that lines up with your thoughts - "My spren claims that recording this will be good for me, so here I go. Everyone says I will swear the Fourth Ideal soon, and in so doing, earn my armor. I simply don't think that I can. Am I not supposed to want to help people?"
