ELI5:What prevents kick starter funds from being spent on things other than what they are meant for?

Nothing really. Kickstarter is not an investment scheme and doesn't give you any rights. There's also no guarantee the project will succeed. 

Kickstarter is just about trying to help something you like get made. You shouldn't expect to get anything in return.
