Since budget caps are impossible to police, the only other alternative is doing this restrictions in the hope of that they will refrain the teams from spending too much. But in the end the teams are going to spend as much as they deem is needed and it will depend on how popular the series is and what kind of ROI they can expect. The difference with this restrictions is if they will spend 200m a year to find 5 sec per lap or 0.5 sec. It's up to the teams to spend wisely and not go over what they can sustain.
