I think the bigger issue is this: Why is there such interest in
restricting what other people can do?

IMO, a couple things. One big thing was that antennas kind of got in
there as collateral damage. This is pure conjecture, but the biggest
beneficiary of antenna restrictions was the cable TV industry. Even
though they had a superior product, if you couldn't put up a TV
antenna, it seals the deal. No exceptions were made until the sat TV
people made a very similar product with an antenna that is pretty
unobtrusive.

Second thing is perhaps one of the less pretty parts of human nature.
A lot of people believe that they know what's best, and they have no
problem imposing what they know on other people. If a contract in
development A has one page of activity restrictions and development B
has three, then by their logic, Development B simply has to be
"better". That's my guess anyhow.
