Probably the same reason why they didn't destroy him during the Birth of Evil, its not their problem.

Only the Black Mass posed a true enough threat to the universe that the gods had to step in to defeat it.

Aku is only one small piece of the Black Mass and thus in their eyes isn't a great enough danger to require personal intervention.

The most they did is help the emperor by forging the Katana from his spirit, and then empowering it again with Jacks' will in Season 5.

That's about as much as they are going to do.
