True, simply defending yourself against such charges could be
expensive.  Now look at the other side: the company can afford
to press that suit monetarily, but they lose two ways:  an explicit
precedent gets set that pulls the teeth on the agreement; and
the bad publicity ("Big Bad <your company name here> sues little
guy trying to make a buck on his own time").  Most companies
wouldn't risk either of those.
