I'd argue that a Warboss has a major interest in giving the lads a good fight.


See without a good scrap every now and then, orks fall into internal fighting. So a Warboss who doesn't provide ample fights for their horde will see it turn in on itself which could mean that they lose command.


OF course really smart Warbosses realise that they can do more than just seek out fights. They can engineer situations to result in favourable fights. Heck they've even saved favoured opponents so that their opponent can go away; rebuild and provide a fun fight later.


The more fights the bigger the waaagh grows
The bigger the waaagh the more fights it needs

Deliver and the waaagh grows; fail to deliver and it shatters.
