In Disney's Aladdin (2019), Aladdin wishes for
the Genie's freedom, and the Genie becomes human.
But why doesn't he just stay a Genie but without the shackles, like in the 1992 version?

@Valorum I'm not "yelling at the moon". I'm obviously prompting the OP to remove the spoiler from the title and to not post one in the future (something a quiet edit does not achieve). Do you have a goal here in your responses other than attacking me? This comment thread is clearly entirely unproductive and will now be terminated.

It was what he wished for earlier in the film. Clearly Aladdin's magical wish took that into consideration (somehow)
The Genie looked surprised. “Wow,” he said after a pause. “Nobody’s ever asked me that before. But that’s easy. To be free. To be my own master. Be human.”
“Why don’t you just set yourself free?” Aladdin asked, confused. Wasn’t that a perk of being all-powerful? Couldn’t you do whatever you wanted?

Having "phenomenal cosmic power" and having fallen in love with Dalia it stands to reason he chose to remain human to live his life with her.
