This was kinda hand-wave it in the anime, but this is stuff she learned and invented in the Demon World. The Human World is pretty far behind in terms of cultivation and education, so humans need the continuing war more than demons do, which is partially why this experiment is being done over there. Demons need the war too, but it’s more that they have bothersome leaders that love to fight and cause trouble.
As for the topic of Hero and what he bring to the story...
Hero is also just a different sort of smart. He’s the military tactics and action side of the pair. You’ll see later that he’s rather good at working a military situation to his advantage, as well as playing both sides to do just what his side needs. He’s also charismatic and knows how to talk to stubborn general-types when they shouldn’t be bothering Maou. When fights start up, Maou switches roles to support, but things are peaceful right now so she’s center-stage and unintentionally making Hero seem blander than he is.
