While I agree with you some (TLD) parents are sometimes too pedantic,
it may serve a need for parents to refuse certain use cases under
their parenthood. If the rules are stupid, complain to the parent if
you want to be his child.

I don't agree you can put it that generic. Some parents only want
specific use under their tree, and you cannot force a parent to grant
you a use case you want. While I agree with you some parents want to
control their children too much, and hence have silly rules that don't
match the use case they want to accommodate, it's not always the case.
Don't throw away the child with the bathwater.

Let me give you a use case where this may be clear.
Suppose I want to set up a network of probes under a parent
"probenetwork.example.com". Every probe gets a registration, but for
the probenetwork to work, every delegation MUST do DNSSEC with an
algoritm the probe architecture can handle and know the whereabouts of
every other probe. Every probe handles it's own delegation so queries
over the network requires the zones to contain specific records the
probes use. So my local policy is to only allow delegations for
certain DNSSEC algorithms, and every delegated zone MUST contain a LOC
record.
In order not to disturb the running probe network, I only accept new
delegations after I verify the child zone for that.

Another example may be that as a parent, we do not want too short
TTL's on the child's NS RRset because our infrastructure is hit with
more queries that are useless with our zone's publication frequency.
And we don't want too long TTL's as a countermeasure against ghost
domains misused by botnets. Now the botnet herders may be against that
policy, but it's our choice as a parent not to accommodate that use
case in our tree unless someone convinces us there's a legitimate
other use case that cannot live with those rules.
