By adding gurney it would/could cause all mfgs/teams to re-adjust the aero on their cars which could become quite costly. By simply putting in a top speed limiter, either electronic or mechanical (gearing), no one has to adjust aero or do any engine re-mapping. Gears are something that is commonly serviced or changed between rounds.
