The genie actually did tell him the entire spiel of rules for the spells when he first emerged, but there was so much else going on that the wisher didn't hear or notice it.
Imagine if someone was trying to discuss the syllabus for a graduate-level university course with you in the middle of a fireworks show.

The genie, after taking out some reading glasses and looking over the contract.
"What's this?"
"My final wish."
"No, it very much isn't. One of the rules of wishes is that they must start with 'I wish' and finish within the same breath."
"You never told me that!"
"There's nothing in the rules that says I have to explain all of them to you."
"I wish you'd told me that sooner! I worked forever on, oh wait, goddamnit!"

No, the genie fulfilled the wish. The genie had told the wisher earlier.
If you're saying that they didn't do something now to fulfill the wish since the request had already been filled, good luck arguing in genie court that the genie didn't use temporal magic to have done that in the past after the wish was wished.
