Why the block on some mechant resources for free content?

How come some merchant resources cannot be used in free items?
example - https://www.daz3d.com/ab-perfectly-noseless-for-genesis-8-bundle-merchant-resource
another example - https://www.daz3d.com/tear-jerker-the-ugly-crying-builder-for-genesis-3-8-and-81-females-merchant-resource

Asking for curiosity, not a complaint.
While I would have liked to have released free content using merchant resources it's obviously not essential and I respect it's up to the creator how I can use their work.

At first, I thought it was so the original creator still got some kind of cut from the sale.
But apparently, it's still OK to offer content on other sites and even patron so long as it's not free.

This might be a really obvious dumb question and if I had to guess it would be that the merchant resource creators just don't want their work devalued on a wider scale by offering something created with it for free even though they would not directly lose out - I think.

    you get what you pay for?

    i like to think content i download has been filtered thru some kind of quality control.

    Anyone who bought an MR could flood the market with high-quality freebies if there were no restrictions.
