Can't make Product standard object a Master(?), but I'd like it to include a Roll-Up Summary field

I would like to add a custom field to a Product object which will summarize the last time the product was ordered.

The 'obvious' way to do this would have been to make Product the master to an object called "Label Order", and then use a roll-up field on "Product".

However, it seems [for some unknown reason] that I can't make Product the Master.

Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong?

Is there a workaround so I can create the "Last_Label_Order" as a formula if Product is a LookUp for "Label Order"?
