The difference with the homologation special s that at the beginning of the season everyone new that if you built X amount of a car you could use it. So BMW did, SEAT didn't, bu thtey new they could if they wanted to.
At the beginning of the year, BMW didn't know that if they made there car rubbish aerodynamically, they'd be allowed a flat bottom.
As for the rolling start thing, BMW obviously saw this as an attack on them, which it was, and were annoyed that they built a car to the best spec, only to have some of that work negated by a lat echange in rules.
