It's not a question of being at odds with the agreed-upon standards. They aren't.

Easier said than done. A few people I know found that it was difficult to sell their home because the existence of an HOA scares off buyers.

It can be a concern. But I actually found the opposite to be true in my case. During my house-hunt I was far more turned-off by the appearance and disrepair of several houses and properties near the places that I was looking at. So it can definitely be a consideration from both perspectives.
