I guess this is just another opportunity for the reader to fill in the gray area. I suppose the creature could exert influence on this reality in return for the summoning, before being found into a specific form, or something like that.

The impression I gained from the book is that the Esoterrorists are
working towards the point where their activities will give them everything they want.
When they started out all they were able to do was move a few glasses about, and generate spectral goo. Now they can summon monsters. If they weaken the barriers just a little bit more, maybe that's when they get to do the wish spells you mention. Of course those pesky Ordo Veritas are worried that weakening the barrier just a little more will just break it and let all the monsters in to slowly torture humanity to death, but what do they know?
So basically, they're hoping that summoning all these beasties will eventually make them all powerful. But for the moment, hey, they're summoning beings from beyond time to do their bidding (ish), which is probably enough of a power trip to keep them going for now.
