Theoretically everyone would be at the same speed down the pitlane, but it's bad enough when a car tries to pull out of the pitlane just as another is passing through having already stopped. The situation of drivers leaving their braking as late as possible, and perhaps attempting to enter the main pitlane 2-abreast, would not be safe for the pitcrews (if Indy's pitlane is theoretically wide enough for this, the situation is paradoxically even worse). Not only that, but the situation of cars exiting the pitlane across another's path (as Michael did to Rubens in the race) would happen dozens of times. In my mind Michaelin were quite right to reject this impractical and dangerous solution.
