Innovating ideas should not be shifted on the basis of a team running away into the lead of the championship. Openly or not, there is a probability that previous (and perhaps this) technical revamps and revised legality of 'innovating parts' has been done on (or at least influenced by) that basis. If other teams need to catch up with the leaders, for example Red Bull, then it is their job to come up with an idea which, of course, they eventually will. Look at Force India. A midfield to back of the pack team in 2009 (think it was that year) who raked up a second place finish at Spa and another great result at Monza due to the way their cars worked on those fast tracks. It is groundwork like this that teams build on to improve their results and I personally believe that the FIA INTRUDING on that mechanism is unfair on the winning teams, who have put effort and thought into coming out with the great ideas that they do.

The arguments regarding environment, finance and safety are far more solid. Unfortunately, the way I see it (and call me cynical if you please) these reasons are used, at times, to blotch over the true reason which I've stated in the previous paragraph.
