:
Munch and Abe are commanded by the Big Raisin to help a particularly lazy Glukkon become one of the richest Glukkons on Oddworld. Why?

Because it was the only way to access Vykkers Labs in the first place. No other vessel going to the Labs would be so completely devoid of security as Lulu’s airship.
:
It's not like Abe needed Munch's help to rescue a few eggs, and it's not like any of the Quintology arc was advanced around Munch - as far as we're aware, Munch is just going to bugger off and raise a hundred gabbiwogs (which will then get fished out of the sea and eaten by the now-richer-than-ever Vykkers. Once they've built a new ship that is)

Saying Munch doesn’t have any signicance to the future of the
Quintology is like saying neither Abe nor Squeek have any such significance. Just because we don’t know about their, doesn’t mean we should judge the present characters for it. Although I will agree that, in the boiled down story Mudling explains away, Munch’s importance in his own game was incredibly lightweight.
Oh, and Munch is the only character whose significance in
Squeek’s Oddysee we actually know.
:
Oh, and who is this Big Raisin creature? Why are Abe and the mudokons suddenly so eager to do his bizarre bidding? Maybe he's really a glukkon in disguise and is blackmailing them with the Queen's life. Suddenly the story all makes sense!

I’m reading this as being tongue in cheeck, but the Raisin is an ancient prophet, oracle, and spiritual advisor. He has been revered by Native races for generations, he has predicted a grisly future that he wants to avoid, and his astral projection gives him a knowledge of and compassion for even the cruelest Industrial individuals that most Natives lack.
