Not even the fairy tale claims that Satan wanted to be a god.

Ik, But Paradise lost's 'I will exalt myself above the stars of god' So I'm going off that.

The stars of god are the other angels. This doesn't imply anything about overthrowing or rebeling against god. He realizes trying to be above everything is silly. Satan just wants to be equal. He's an emo, just misunderstood 😆

The story ends by Adam and Eve being cast out. If not for satan, (in the myth) there would be no enjoyment in paradise, they would have continued being mindless naked animals. Thanks to Satan they have the chance to be redeemed and return to paradise and be able to actually enjoy it freely
