People place him over other servants because he's great. In Fate Extra he goes out of his way to kill a monster that wasn't an order given to him by the gods, and wasn't by the humans he watched over. He just did it for future protection of them. If you have done fate extra's gilgamesh route you would actually know that Gilgamesh being a tyrant was a front in order to harden humanity as a whole, and he actually loves them a lot even if he tries to hide it.

He also literally dies in Babylonia to ensure that the human race survives so there is that too.
