I don't think you are Ranc
Gizmo is the Trojan horse of his species. He gets into a cultivated and successful species with his cutesy looks and agreeable nature. He truly believes he is as good as we all think he is, the perfect sleeper agent.
Then, once settled in, his biology kicks in and he gets up to low level mischief which is perfectly understandably for a toddler or puppy. However this latest misbehaving is actually his underlying procreative genetics kicking in with the idea of spreading its seed far and wide.
Be it having food left out, or being squirted with water, his social cues always make something occur which will proliferate his continuance in some shape or form. The ultimate predator.
Think of Gizmo like a cute facehugger from the movie Alien. Once he's in, it is in his genes to make sure he gets everywhere and takes control. He doesn't even know it.
And so Gizmo didn't stay put because that's his natural drive to somehow procreate -

True. I watched it in cinema in 1985-ish.
I lived in a former communist country where Christmas was not allowed, so Christmas music was beautiful to listen on the screen.
My reasoning about Gremlins is rooted in childish mentality and mixed with popcorn fun emotions.
