I don’t think you understand the difference between a restriction and a constraint in creative writing.
Mindy Kaling wrote for 26 episodes of The Office. She also wrote Velma. For the latter, she had total creative freedom. For the former, she had to work within numerous constraints.
Constraints can certainly be bad, at which point they can become more like restrictions. But a lot of the time, constraints function to impose structure and direction on a project, and these things are usually required for someone to do their best work.
Look at George Lucas. Constraints = original trilogy. No constraints = prequel trilogy. The man needs someone telling him “no”.
What are engineering standards for bridges?
Those are just constraints said the women only engineers.
The rest is the bridge under the water.
