I don't understand your point. Now GMs are reluctant to play against computer
chess programs at tournaments. If programmers won't accept the restrictions and
refuse to make their programs available for play, then very little has changed.
I thought the point was to try and change things.

No, because the common consumer will always be behind. And development of chess
programs isn't going to be as dependent on hardware advances as in the past IMO.
