Somewhat counterintuitively, people are often more creative when they have more restrictions in place. Being limited in what you can do can make people more likely to find creative solutions. I suspect that this is an example. There are a huge number of ways things could be worse, and a far smaller number of ways things could be better. So it may actually be easier to come up with examples from the latter set, since your options are more restricted.
