I think the key to limiting wishes will be the GM gradually revealing the unintended consequences of dealing with demonic forces. All transactions have a cost and balance must be maintained.

For example (as shared in another thread), in order to grant a wish for riches might require the demon to go out and kill some rich guy and steal his stuff which would make the wisher responsible for the death and could lead to them being hunted by the rich guy's family. That seems more like how a demon would operate to me.
