I'm just putting it out there that the original schedule had the pre-season test on 17 March, with no test days after that until the first race on 28 March.

It could be argued that the teams are in the same situation - the cars have just been stored for a longer period between media day and round one.
Teams would test every day if they could afford it, but by not restricting testing you would open up the gap between the front and back of the grid. The teams need to be protected from themselves and to keep the grid close.
