Why would the demiurge go through the trouble of creating a world then not prove his existence?

A lion doesn't care for approval of monkeys, similarly, if there is indeed a creator, it has no need to validate itself against its own creation.

The answer to your question: because it has no need to.

Because he did it for power and control and him proving his own existence is pointless to him.
Do you even know what the demiurge is?

Only a truly benevolent and almighty God would allow a world with so much suffering and everything pointing to the Devil to exist. Only then can you separate wheat from chaff.

Are you using the word demiurge in the Platonic or the Gnostic sense?

So if it doesn't need our worship any more, because it found what it needs by other means, do we still get b& to plane of suffering and misery?
Or did it casually lose interest and stop sending us there.
or was it a bluff in the first place?

A truly almighty God could separate wheat from chaff just by saying "lol, just separate yourself".
Having to do anything more than that proves he's not almighty.

Afterlife was always only temporary, you get recycled and reincarnate after a short while anyway.
It'd be a waste of potential resources to keep anyone there forever.
