Or the manufacturer wishes to meet FCC type acceptance specs for sales
in the USA and does not wish to be named as a party to any illegal
operations; that is as far as they can reasonably be expected to go.
There is nothing artificial about it.
What you find useful may not meet the above legal requirements.

With respect to the issue of a manufacturer artficially limiting the
transmit frequency coverage of its equipment to ham bands only, I find
such an attitude paternalistic and condescending. It plainly conveys
the attitude that the customer is too stupid to avoid improper or
illegal operation of the equipment. There should be a menu item that
allows either full or ham-band-only coverage. That is all. I have over
several decades found full band transmit coverage to be routinely
useful for test signal generation in addition to MARS work. The
manufacturer should not presume to become enforcer of regulations.
