Seriously, what is the point of these?

Seriously.
What is the point of buy an adoptable whose terms state "you can't change the design".
I understand when its a closed species, for sure- that's part of the point of closed species.
But your average design adopt. WTF, why? I am literally buying the design from you- I feel like that is part of the sale- that the character design is now 100% the owner's property. Of course, the artist ought to get credit and all of that- but the design no longer belongs to the original artist, it's been sold! So, why can't it be changed? (The design. Not the original art.)
I know, if I don't like the terms I don't have to buy it. BUT its just super insanely sad when I am in love with a design, and go to see the terms of service to find I can't buy that character- because no matter what I am going to eventually I will want to change them some. Because of Character development- or clothing changes, age, whatever. I imagine I will have these characters forever- why would I want a character I could NEVER change any?
I just feel like artists are limiting themselves - as well as hurting their customer base by saying "you can't have any further artistic ideas with this one".
Just a pet peeve of mine I guess.
What do you think?

~Super amazing People~
I don't fret on it though. If someone has rules like that, I'm just not gonna buy from them.
True! Maybe I shouldn't let it bother me that much haha ^-^;
I have also legit seen artists in the past also state that they ‘reserve the right to reclaim the character’ if it is used or modified in a way they disagree with
