I also agree with Magomaeva with the point that the monsters do want freedom. It's all over the scriptures on the walls of waterfalls! And Asgore is under pressure to fulfill their wish. Even Papyrus mentions that he just wants to feel the wind flowing as he cruises down a road but he can't so he settles for a racecar bed xD. Imagine being part of a group of individuals banished under a mountain from their home. Living with tales and legends of how things used to be on the surface. Recreating stars to get a feel of how night would feel like (a character ponders what stars could be like in the game). Just like human society irl, some monsters would have been content with living under and some monsters wouldn't be. If they were freed, then both parties would be happy.
