Empathy for one. In the absence of empathy, if the amount of energy takes for you to get me to do a thing supersedes the amount of energy required for the thing to be done then it wouldn't be practical for you to make me do the thing. Additionally, my awareness of my own mortality makes it impossible for me to be perpetually made to do thing because I can always just kill myself. It incentivizes harming you and the things you care about. It gives your enemies a de-facto ally. But it's intriguing that you think that there is only one reason...
JeerpJoop "If I can make you do what I want and get away with it, why should I not?"
Hym "Well, for starters, there's more than one reason. Secondly, you literally can't. You can only leverage (either) my desire to live against performing the act OR the hope that I may not have to continue doing it indefinitely. Which is how you get people to stay in your suffering cult. You leverage their desire to live and their hope that their suffering will end to get them to do what you want or behave how you want to behave. It's actually kind of illuminating to because if you're God rewards screwing people over then is it not evil? Sounds evil. It ties back into you not actually believing in God but rather believing that God is on your side and that it will forgive you if you do the opposite of what it said."

Get the If I can make you do what I want and get away with it, why should I not? mug.It’s only weird if you make it weird — see also “It’s only wyrd if you make it wyrd” the response to an intimate when one has made a legitimate request and you receive a questioning or pitying look. Often as people we confidently ask for something that we would find both pleasing and satisfying; but, we are met with stiff resistance from our partners and intimates when they are asked to participate in our reasonable (and sometimes reasonable) requests.
Look at it this way, if a person give you a waaaaaaaaaaay overly specific request, they have either done this before or have at least put a lot of thought into what they want.
The underlying meaning of the word weird is magical so actually this comment is deep and dualisticly insightful.

Her: Babe, can you put my Yoga door mounts into the heavy file cabinet; bind me; suspend my arms and legs from the mounts; gag and blindfold me; and use my Hitachi Wand to stimulate me until I pass out?
Him: (Offering the gas face of disbelief in stunned silence)
Her: It’s only weird if you make it weird.
