If you look at rules for roll cages (not in pure stock classes), there's a spec for minimum clearance between the helmet and the bars, and it's definitely way more than 1/2". Safety would be for allowing a driver to move around in a crash without snagging their head on something and tweaking their neck.

I honestly can't imagine someone putting up a fight over this since it in no way helps the handling of the car.
