If they enforced that particular restriction it would eliminate a pocket of demand for new home sales, which apparently takes priority. It’s kind of hypocritical to have the deed restrictions and selectively choose which ones should be enforced.

Where do people come up with this stuff? & why do people who don't know what they're talking about, have the need to present nonsense, like it's fact?
Deed restrictions (in most situations) only concern 3 things: use, appearance & modification. There's no such thing as "internal" or "external". The restrictions are not enforced by the "Developer", they are enforced by the CDD or by someone who's a 3rd part beneficiary to the restriction. If you think your neighbor is violating a restriction and you don't like it, sue.
Most every village in the The Villages, has different Deed Restrictions than their neighboring village. What's prohibited on one street, may be allowed on the street next to it. Generalizing about deed restrictions is a fool's errand.
The definition of the terms "business", "home occupation" as well as AirBnb type operations are in flux, in most every community in the United States and not likely to be settled, any time soon. Times change. Consider the 2nd Amendment. It's been over 200 years and still, no one agrees if AK-47's were what the founding fathers had in mind.
