At the very least, you can hope to gain some insight as to why the rules are the way they are, rather than aimlessly complaining about them. Its much easier to work with a set of constraints when you understand why they exist.

For better or worse, the difference here is that people are lawsuit trigger-happy, and often use it to project blame for their own mistakes (or random accidents) onto a third party. So there are a lot of rules made to minimize risk of accidents/lawsuits, which is why there are warnings on coffee cups that say "Warning! Contents may be hot!".
