Uther doesn't know anything about magic, he's new to advanced technology, and he doesn't fully get the morals and values of the world outside of Ishgard. It doesn't cause him to be lost and sad, but he just thinks they're rude, and assumes they're going to do the right thing. (Now he's been here long enough to assume they aren't going to do the right thing) He believes in fairness to a fault. He'd fight every opponent one at a time in a completely flat field with the same armor and weapons if he could.
