Aston Martin gets a whole lot of free press courtesy of the F1 press and associated media. They also get spin off credibility from the idea that they are capable of producing an F1 engine.
RBR are able to strengthen their negotiating position in the engine wars by touting that the correct regulation would bring Aston into the field, and may well achieve the RBR objective of introducing cheaper simpler engines into F1.

Not a useless exercise from either Aston Martin or RBR.
