The three wishes rule isn't there to keep you from trying to be God. It's there simply as a cap to keep you from wishing for something so great that the genie dies trying to grant it.

But then by limiting the amount of wishes, you're forcing the user to think hard about the few they have, increasing the likelihood they're gonna come up with something the genie can't grant.

It's not a perfect system!
