That's just the issue though, Mather. He came when he sensed the signs of battle on Gielinor after the fall of the empire. Without the fall of the empire (no Zamorak to cause it), there's nothing to grab his attention.
Furthermore, we already know that Bandos isn't one for challenging beings of relatively similar strength to his own (or even much less if we count the events of the Dorgeshuun quest line). What makes him a threat is the sheer power and refinement of his armies, not his own prowess in combat.
You also assume that Bandos, of all people, would somehow gain control of the World Gate when Loarnab (as Zaros's parallel) is more likely to have possession of that (especially since the creation of Nex in DoD implies that Loarnab had possession of the gate even in the absence of Seren to hand it over).
Also, it was Zamorak who rediscovered the stone during the 2nd age, which then passed into Saradomin's hands upon the coup's success. In the absence of Zamorak finding it, I find myself doubting that Bandos, of all people, would find it (especially given that none of the gods who had been there longer than him had found it during their time on Gielinor, and the distinct absence of any of the rumors and legends that led people like Movario to seek it out n the first place).
