If the perception of the whole class changes for the better, then everyone
should benefit.
Even those who don't make the change to their particular car.

I don't think it's a question of being a waste, per se. I think it's a
question of:
1) What it would do to the value of the existing cars once shock-optimized
cars are developed
2) The ongoing cost of shock rebuilds (vs the cost of replacement pucks).
3) The cost & logistics of policing a spec shock if one is selected
4) The cost of high-end shocks if the rule is free
5) The development time required to re-engineer every car in existence for
a new damping system. Even if fitting the shock/spring can be done
relatively easily, tuning will change enough to require 'starting over'
with a car that the owner has probably already spen a great deal of time
and money on tuning.
