The original reason why they allowed non-OEM shocks was for safety reasons, specifically when used with R compound tires. OEM shocks were terrible and a rollover was certainly possible. They took out the "no remote" rule change because they realized shocks aren't easy to police and some have made a significant investment in shocks already. Someone will rebuild/revalve/change internals on any shock and spend whatever they need to get an advantage. It's one of those things which is impossible to police. Koni Motorsports (real motorsports) shocks like the 2812 are still $$$ but do not use remote reservoirs.
