Stringent rules generally block out alternatives, and stifle creativity.
Designers generally don't like that.

Sure, they may find a common design that works best for a little while, but there will always be a chance for something completely different to take the scene by storm.
You don't really have that these days, now it's just enormous amounts of effort and funds put into minute details that get that 1 tenth, maybe 2 tenths of a second.

No longer will you see experiments like a six wheeler, or a turbine engine, or anything at all really.

And that just sucks.
