Depends on what you're trying to test. You could just as easily argue that _not_ allowing the AI to make use of its natural APM and interface advantages is unfair, and that it should be allowed to play without restrictions in order to demonstrate its full potential. AlphaGo had an "unfair" advantage in its games against Lee Sedol in that it was able to "think" far faster than you could reasonably expect a human to, and could therefore evaluate many, many more moves than a human player possibly could have. If you artificially limited the speed at which AlphaGo was able to "think" to match human limitations, would it have been able to win against Lee? I'd argue probably not. Similarly, here we have an AI that's easily able to crush top SC players if it plays with an uncapped APM and no camera limitations, but only reaches grand master level when you impose artificial restrictions that force it to behave more like a human. The question of which configuration is more "fair" is kinda arbitrary; it depends on what your goal is.
