Default No touch and go's?

In many airports out there, you'll find in the AFD in the comments
section, "No touch and go landings", and/or "no practice approaches".
A few examples off the top of my head:

It means no touch and goes, period. People really do not want a lot of
student pilot practice activity there during those hours. KSAC has
been a big AllATPs hub and those guys would do touch and goes 24/7
given the chance.

Sedona (KSEZ) used to prohibit all solo student activity, for good
reason. It has a relatively narrow runway with steep drop-offs at both
ends and squirrely winds. They used to get a lot of people missing the
runway. The runway is now 100' wide, but they still ask pilots to
avoid scenic flights below 6500' MSL.
