This rule hindered us too.

Only buying sprockets and gears from SPI really hindered our design capability. We've weened ourself away from EDMing gears, and we don't want to go back.
This rule limited the flexibility of our drive train's ratio, and speed of getting sprockets delivered to us was slow, compared with a local supplier. We are using 16 (qty) 12-tooth, 35 type sprockets on our robot. We had to wait a bit for these and I'm sure that we drained the supply of this heavily-used sprocket.
