That takes away their flexibility. They want to be able to be less strict if you're not renting new-releases or other hard-to-get titles. If they set a hard "no more than X per month" limit, they won't be able to adapt to each customer, which is the most efficient way to do it.

I haven't really combed through the agreement in a while. I'm betting that since they lost a settlement already, they've added language in the agreement that says that they will adjust delivery speed as they see fit.
