To amaze me with the nonsensical ways folks reinterpret Tolkien's work to fit their own agenda & come up with things the good author absolutely never intended or gave a thought to himself ~ even left contrary statements to which are constantly ignored by those which said personal agenda...
Tolkien said Bombadil was an inigma.
So who's trying to figure out what Tolkien hadn't figured out?
But will anybody stop just because Tolkien gave us the answer himself?
Never.
That would be too simple & require us to put aside our own opinions.
Never happen in this age.
And for Aule, yeah, Bombadil does an awful lot of stuff to remind one of Aule, lol. 
The only thing the dude ever built in 30,000 years is a single house while he spends his time skipping upon the lilly fields.
