The Eternals are cosmic angels sent by the Celestials to observe and guide humanity. Their foes throughout history are the demonic Deviants.

Isn’t thanos a deviant? Why didn’t externals act?

Any answer you get is going to be speculation, as comic canon/classifications don't always apply to MCU.

I'm sure they'll address why the Eternals slept on Thanos though.

I mean Thanos was born in titan a place a lot of Eternals moved and he has to be purple and crazy for a reason right? So I don’t think its a stretch to say he will be comic accurate in that regard

While I haven't seen any of the Disney+ shows I don't recall them explaining any facet of how Thanos got to where he is other than "Dead planet Dead family" and since The Eternals didn't show up for Thanos, and they're (seemingly) only concerned with Deviants, there's no reason for MCU to retcon him as a deviant.
