Official DRS was introduced in exchange for 'banning' those dangerous F-ducts pseudo-DRS which were free to use anywhere in the lap but often required taking a hand off the steering wheel (albeit the originator McLaren used the driver's knee as the actuator which was a little more elegant).
Would you have instead have proposed a straight ban on F-ducts, which no replacement drag reduction mechanism?
As always, it is not something the regulators dreamt up one day but rather it is in response to what the competitors were doing. Just as the standardised pressurised refuelling rigs were reintroduced in response to competitors making their own pressurised refuelling rigs of varying levels of safety.
