That sounds like the worst kind of misfeature.
It sounds like it should solve your problem. At first it seems to work. Then you keep on finding the footguns after it is too late to change the design.

Contracts are designed as a minimum thing that can work. The different groups who want different - conflicting - things out of contracts now have a common place and syntax examples to start adding what they want without coming up with something that either breaks someone else, or worse each group doing things in a non-uniform way thus causing foot guns.
Contracts as they are today won't solve every problem. However they can expand over time to solve more problems. (or at least that is the hope, time will tell - there is already a lot of discussion on what the others should be)
