From what I've seen, spirits only really care about themselves and what they stand for. Hei Bai attacked a village because his forest was burned to the ground. That meditating monkey put Aang on a wild goose chase just so he could be alone. Koh only gave information to the Avatar because he thought he could get a reaction and thus add another face to his collection. The Ocean spirit got all POed when his bud, the mood spirit, died, by a Fire Nation soldier. So, what does he do? He wipes out the entire Fire Nation fleet.

Overall, spirits are selfish, so unless one was going to get a personal gain from there being no more benders, Amon wasn't aware that he was gifted by something not spiritual, or he's flat out lying.
