First of all, to Wolf 91, even before she met Eric, Ariel already desired to become a human anyways (heck, the song makes that blatant, and the song took place before she even learned of Eric's existence directly, and in fact the writers gave her an intense fascination for humanity specifically to avoid the implication that she only wanted to become human because of Eric.), so having Eric become a merman would have destroyed the entire point, as Ariel still wouldn't get what she wants most, which is being among humanity. If you had actually paid attention to Part of Your World, heck, even watched the scenes before that, it should have been made very clear to you.

Second of all, to Dragonboy6491, just in case you actually were serious about that remark instead of joking, Ariel simply cannot live on land as a mermaid. Yes, she can breathe outside of water, but on the other hand, the scaly tail she has, if its anything like a fish (I personally consider Merpeople pure mammals specifically because of their possessing breasts and not "half-fish."), would most likely dry out over a course of weeks, leaving it utterly useless.
