Sounds to me that he's a villain who promises to make wishes come true so people don't have to try and earn anything and he then keeps wishes for his own benefit.

The obvious message in the movie is gonna be that our wishes are what drives us to be better people in order to make them come true ourselves. So when he takes that away from people he stops their potential.

Not really sure how this makes him right?

Also he doesn't say that he only doesn't grant wishes that are harmful. He says he only grants one that benefits the kingdom. Which is going to be ones that benefit him. Because...he's the villain.
