Brandon Sanderson / Roshar and the Ocean. (very minor spoilers)

Every being that we've encountered so far, other than humans, seems to be just a play on an ocean creature. Knowing Brandon's amazing writing skills, there must be some reason that everything seems like it could underwater. For some reason, when I think about it, I just think about Spongebob and how it doesn't really appear to be underwater (most people in the show are stuck to the ground). Chulls are like giant crabs, theres flying eels, and even spren could be like a microorganism (or in the case of Syl an intelligent shrimp!).
I'm not hatin' on WoK, I loved pretty much everything about the book, but I'm curious if Brandon has said anything somewhere that I haven't seen. It seems like something that he did on purpose, but I have no idea.
Also, I talked to my mom about this, who hasn't read the book but enjoys other fantasy series (like WoT), and she said that maybe it really is underwater, with some weird sense of gravity. While I don't follow her line of thought, I was wondering what other people might have though about this.
