Wittich has no problem abiding to Ben Sulayems wishes

This is of course the first year in a long long time that both the FIA director and the F1 race director are both persons that don't have roots in F1 (Ben Sulayem is a rally man, Wittich a DTM man).
Maybe previous directors (Todt, Mosley, Masi, Whiting, Ecclestone) were more aware that F1 drivers can be real snowflakes and walked that line differently. (note: it's not a new rule, it's just enforcing it more stricktly)
