Once one does it, especially if that one is the market leader, then their competitors tend to do it too, because otherwise the one that did it would be able to go ahead and publish benchmarks showing it beating the others, and they would not be able to counter. Someone, I forget who exactly, tried to limit their restriction. It said something like you could not publish benchmarks of their product against your products that had benchmark restrictions unless (1) you published full specifications and configuration information so others could reproduce, and (2) you gave everyone permission to do so.
