Different wish granting entities different rules

A Djinn's wishes are meant to serve as a lesson about understanding what you actually want while Shenron's limitations are more about keeping any mortal who can summon him from stepping beyond their bounds, especially since we now have the super dragonballs implying significant limitations on what regular dragonballs are capable of in comparison.

Honestly it'd be interesting to see a comparison of wish granting powers to understand what their limitations imply about their roll in the story.

imply about their roll in the story.

The DragonBalls probably roll infinitely better than the lamp.

The lamp is a classic D2

No wonder those balls end up in the deepest holes
