There is a reasonable legal argument that says it shouldn't be, unless you are compensated for the time (at least under anglo-american legal theory). As it is, courts will often dismiss "unreasonable" no-compete clauses, but you have to spend money on a lawsuit to get there. I'm not completely sure if the FTC is the right place for this ruling, but I'm not unhappy with it. It appears to be a late 19th century phenomenon.
