A problem occurs when one manufacturer develops a superior product that actually does confer a competitive advantage, which a subset of competitors are unable to use due to e.g. sponsor obligations. Arguing that it's the sponsor's problem and they should relax the contractual obligations ignores the reality of the incentive structures at play. So banning said technology is suboptimal from the standpoint of pushing the possibilities of the human body to its limits (at least in sanctioned competition), but in the end it's more fair.
