I changed mine too 16.9 because I burn my photos to watch on the widescreen TV. I don't want the bars on each side to show.
Your personal preference.

You get less pixels. The pixel resolution of your EOS sensor is based on the 5x3 aspect. Using anything else causes the camera to give you less than the maximum pixel resolution. Usually, the photographer would want to decide which pixels to discard, not the camera via this setting.
5 X 3 aspect? What EOS camera has a this aspect ratio?

I can choose between 16:9 and "Cinema 4K" on my GH4. My son's GH5 can handle those plus anamorphic wide screen (with a squeeze to 4:3 and expansion in post).
Some models of Lumix can record "4K" or "6K" video (really 5.6K), that can be cropped in post production editing to 4:3, 16:9, or C4K.

So what is the aspect ratio of C4K or 6K? I know they are of different resolution but what's the aspect ratio?

I always shoot full frame. I don't consider the card space a problem. If the image needs to be at a different aspect ratio (a frequent occurence) I crop it in post. Most of my crops are unconstrained by "standard" values. If I want a print to fit a frame I will add a border (usually white or black depending on the image and the frame) to provide the proper aspect ratio for the frame. I have not to date produced any shots that were really worthy of a mat.

DCI Cinema 4K is 4096x2160 pixels. 1.9:1 aspect ratio.
6K is basically 4:3, can be cropped however you want it.

Being the expert you are, have you for any reason changed the ratio?
Not an expert, but one situation might be if you have a specific frame or mat you want to use. Some frame and pre-cut mats are harder to find than others. Frame your shot with the corresponding aspect ratio to make sure you get everything you want in the picture.

I'm not sure where I came up with 5:3 earlier, but now too late to correct. The EOS is 3:2. ...
I am surprised no one caught this before you posted the correction.

And they sell precut 8x10 mats with a 6x8 opening.

Good tip. I may begin applying this border technique to my IG posts that occasionally get cropped willy nilly.

An EOS film camera, when you use a cheap processing service ;-)

I had a Globuscope 35 with variable ratio on film from about 3:1 through 7:1, and there was no cropping involved.
The format didn’t shrink ... it expanded. So if you didn’t have a 5x7 enlarger you were constrained to 5:1.

If you are displaying your photos primarily on a TV screen, you may want to select the 16:9 aspect ratio. Shooting 3:2 may give you more pixels; but, depending on your composition, you may be unable to crop to 16:9 later.
Similarly if making 8x10 portraits, if you shoot 3:2 you may not have left enough margins to get the final crop.

I shoot 16x9 or requested Cine format for Broadcast since we went Digital.
