The challenge may well be the nature of the pitlane entry and how it could lead to an unsafe track re-entry should a hardcharger out-brake themselves, travel the grass, and spear back on to the front straight.
When I first saw the new pitlane, the entry looked to be designed wrong and should've taken drivers further away from the race circuit itself and on a significantly different trajectory.
Not a global authority - just trying to apply a logical reasoning
