He became short so he didn't need to do anything wrong he was already wrong.

He liked television
At the time the book was written television was viewed like videogames or social media were for our generations.
It was the latest thing that was corrupting the children and rotting their brains.

Wonka in the 2005 movie (and in the actual book) isn't intentionally setting up punishments for the kids. He's just a mad scientist and they screw themselves over by fucking with arcane machinery they can't understand. It's like asking what a Chinese factory worker did to "deserve" being incinerated or flattened into a pancake. Nothing. Xi Jinping didn't plan that out.

Kids were all explicitly told to not do or touch things and they did so because their parents didn't properly raise them. It's not necessarily their fault, but it was consequence of their actions. In the new movie, Violet's mom encouraged her to try the gum and after Verucca jumps for a squirrel, her dad tried to buy one instead of discipline his child. Augustus' and Mike's parents were just pussies who didn't have the guts to straighten up their kids either but rather than encouraging them, didn't have the nerve to tell them no. They all would have been fine if they had just followed indications as explained.

That's just 2000s cynicism.

He was arrogant and too proud of his intelligence and didn't show any humility even when he was warned to not use the machine.
