Does the Demon Orb create Ne Zha's anger, or only give it a shape?

The Demon Orb explains volatile power and the fear surrounding Ne Zha, but it should not erase the social conditions that shape him. Rejection, confinement and adults expecting disaster can produce anger even without supernatural origin. The interesting part is that Ne Zha still makes choices inside those pressures. When viewers say 'he acts that way because he is the Demon Orb,' do you think they are explaining the character or repeating the same label the story asks us to question?
