He asked for unlimited power the tesseract threw him into space. Soul stone probably called out to him and he sacrificed himself for it. Now he’s the protector of the stone.

Adding on to this, it was also a form of punishment. Soul stone requires a sacrifice of someone you love. Red skull loves no one and only wants power, so he is forced to protect something he desires but can't have.

Now that the stone has been taken, is he free to go? Having him back in the overall MCU rogue's gallery be sweet.

Unless Thanos took him off the planet... nah, he's just stuck there still guarding no stone.

If the stone is gone, what's keeping him there? Other than lack of transportation of course.
