Yes, I do believe that the teams, including McLaren, did have a big hand in coming up with those regulations. It was thought that reliability was more important than performance (can't really argue with that when it comes to gearboxes), and that throwing in a new gearbox every time the car was rolled back into the garage was taking the 'conspicuous consumption' thing a bit too far.
Likewise the engines. The engineers are now having to think about how they can make an engine more reliable, rather than when they just threw in another 'grenade' when the gearbox got changed.
