I had a strut rod break on me a few years back. No control at all and slammed the wall just after the finish line. Thank god I was in the left lane, otherwise I would have taken out the car in the other lane as well. The rod that broke was a replacement piece that was 2 years old. Lobbied for aftermarket rods back then and was told they were not allowed. I even sent the specs on the global west replacements to show what I would be using but they wouldn't let it fly.
It is purely a safety issue and the rule should be amended.
