Strong feelings are for every Sacred Gear. It's not just for the Boosted Gear. It has been explained that Sacred Gears use the feelings of their users to evolve. Who's to say that those that use Divine Dividing can't have anything to defend? Divine Dividing is just a Sacred Gear. And every user is different. There could be a possessor just like Issei who wants to protect everyone. I think you're trying to equate Vali to other possessors of Divine Dividing. Vali is his own person. And you can have strong feelings without having someone to protect, you know.
