Seems like an arbitrary 5 year period to me. Just because they think they should have these regs for that period doesn't mean that they will be around. Toyota as an example may have signed because the racing team is focused that far ahead. The suits in Japan may make the call to pull the plug and then that would be that.
The reason for all this 'crap' being proposed is simply a matter of public perception and is political in nature. If F1 appears to be attempting to be 'green', it looks good and sounds good on paper. Those who actually watch the cars go round and round and round will probably have a different opinion to those bureaucrats who are sitting in their EU offices (or whatever organisation they are from).
