As the organisers have had the rule mandatorily thrust upon them, there's no escaping its use as a window of eligibility.
For better or worse, they've elected to place the window such that the bounds of eligibility are broadened.
Regardless of whether the goalposts are moved, its confines are static.
I'd much prefer the event retain a decent number of production touring classes. It's multi-class, endurance racing. There are already a decent volume sanitised, single-class GT3 series/events.
While the minimum time (and penalty) are ridiculous, it's of no great consequence, and doesn't (in theory, and if infraction hasn't occured) impinge on any entry's ability to lap faster than such during the race.

Mel rose was clear that he couldnt lap faster than 2.15, i assume thats part of the invitational rules though and would continue
Why would CAMS allow the Ferrari to do a 2.04 at sprint Bathurst but only a 2.06 in the 12 hour?
