The restriction is for 1 year from purchase date. Much like the similar 1 year resale restriction to minimize house flipping

It also protects the ability to get a mortgage on a home. As the % of rentals increases in a community, mortgage companies are less likely to lend. They worry they will lose their 80% Loan- to- Value advantage that protects them in case of default. Rentals properties tend to decrease all property values.
Some buyers in TV do pay cash, but many get a mortgage, whether to maintain cash reserves or investment, or they don’t have the cash but do have qualifying retirement income.
