I think the rule was to allow the likes of Mercedes to accommodate competitor like RBR, but like you I think it is hideously wrong. There should only be one spec of PU complete with software.
If RBR did get a Merc engine and threatened the works team, all they have to do is detune the software, it is just plain wrong.
We have got to the point in F1 that if you are not a manufacturer, and can't rely on cross subsidisation you won't be able to produce a PU. The manufacturers have succeeded in obtaining a position, Mercedes mainly, where they can hold F1 to any ransom they please.
Isn't this exactly what Bernie was trying to avoid originally with Cosworth?
They should just dump the token system.
