I get where you're coming from, but I disagree that an accusation that turns out to be nothing should be penalized. Multiple teams noticing the same (potential) breach of rules on another team's car would wait for each other to file a complaint so they don't risk their points. Some of these complaints also simply result in a "clarification" of the rules.

Exactly this. Protests aren’t trying to make their competitors cars illegal, it’s asking the FiA for clarification on the rules, and if it’s illegal they have time to bring it back into compliance.
