The reason Phoenix started to being messed up i sbecause Jean was for too long dead.
It doesn’t matter who did the feet. The question could be reversed. While the Phoenix can make a cockroach it’s host, there’s a reason why it prefers Jean. How much of the Phoenix’s feet’s are really Jean’s. Considering what we learned of Jeen’s powers, possibly quite a lot.
I still think Hickman put Jean us the green mini because he wants to do a new take on Phoenix/Jean. Morrison wrote Jean as plain Jean, ignores her telepathic power developments under Claremont, then had her powers expand to her being Phoenix again. The return if the Goblin Queen makes me think we will see Phoenix/Jean by next year.
Jean's first resurrection is a model for the resurrection protocols. The Phoenix can do it unilaterally while the Five need to work together, but it's essentially the same process of egg and incubation. They should write about story about the debt mutants owe to the Phoenix.

I think this panel from X-Men The Hidden Years succinctly illustrates that even though the Force can inhabit basically anyone or anything, Jean's mutation makes her extremely powerful and "best match"...not to mention Jean's empathy and spiritual compatibility
It was fitting that Jean wield the Phoenix Force once she stopped suppressing her powers and started embracing their scope...as she tells Storm during their day trip on the astral plane, she's just "doing what comes naturally".
Storm and Magneto (other Omega mutants, coincidentally), self-generate a certain amount of force, but their greatest feats happen when they tap into a larger power source(Earth's or other celestial natural meteorological or Magnetic forces), yet no one tries to claim those aren't their feats.
The increased sentience and convoluted attempts at expanding its mythos really messed with Jean
While I love Jean as Phoenix, I appreciate the current status quo and Jean furthering herself without the baggage.

I've always wondered what Jean would look with a purple, orange or pink costume. those are the colors I think she's never worn
Jean is actually a pretty good fit for all corps, maybe the red one not much.
