Let's say you produce a very nice car which, for some reason, you think does only look good in red. You will decide to only sell this car to people who will agree to sign a contract which will forbid them to paint it in any other color.

Although it might seems ok, I would have much difficulty to blame anyone who would sign the contract, but who, as soon as the seller is away, would paint the car in blue.
You might like to look at the sales contracts with Rolls Royce then - there were stringent conditions. There are also simliar restrictions on a lot of property salesd in the deeds too.
