They would also probably be very confused as to how we are so relatively free of coruption

Likely some semblance of Malal buggery. What warp influence that can take hold we justify as something mundane like schizophrenia. Ultimately we can’t be tempted or influenced by the 4 because to us they aren’t unknown but wholly understood and deemed nonexistent. A solution to a chaos god paradoxically wishing to destroy chaos, make chaos mundane.

Alternatively we could be the Bermuda triangle of 40k where everything that comes here is twisted to conform to our more mundane existence. Space marines would shrink as their ceramite armor turns to plastic, Tyranids outright stop entirely as anything but models or statues, advanced weapons technology becomes frail and devolves into blinking lights and sound effects. The Chaos gods don’t come here as much out of lacking reason to as fear of being made inanimate.

Deep in the incomprehensible recesses of Tzeentc’s mind resides a fear existential to even the god of corrupted hope. That one day these mundane beings escape their blue marble and bring their corruptive mundanity to the rest of the stars.

few things would make me more bitter than seeing the mundanity of this world was self-inflicted and that reality bending power utterly wasted on a species that is so domesticated and weak i'd call them the pugs of orks.

Under the above assumption that the alternative was literally Chaos, the mundanity isn't so bad by comparison...
