I think the reason for not using it in the last hour is more to do with the proportion of the remaining race time that it takes to do the procedure rather than any “fairness”

If it's too long then it's no good.
Frankly, there was a ton of other solutions : add another safety car to reduce time lost to something like 45" at most (seconds you can regain later with another SC period or with strategy flexibility anyway under FCY); use a "safety car jump" to allow selected cars to jump one SC to regain track against a car it was fighting with before; relaunch the race 1 or 2 sectors after the pass around has been granted so that not all the time is regained etc...
