(Perhaps Mercedes have someone who would in other teams be garaged based, sitting on the pitwall in Toto's seat.)
I suppose they could do away with the VIP booths at the back, but then what would you do to give your sponsors that tangible close enough to touch it exclusive experience.

The VIP issue may have a part in it. Being on the pit wall seems to take away distractions.
And it could be one of those tradition things that nobody has really noticed is outdated and now unnecessary. Just a "always done it this way" thing.
