And what if 2 back markers failed and nobody cared. Random is about as fair as you can get. Just because it doesn't seem fair doesn't mean it wasn't.

Universally applying a rule by measuring all competitors shouldn't be contentious.

People baby the FIA too much. I am sure they can find a way to make it work--especially considering 50% of the cars they randomly tested failed.

Pretty much every Motorsport body does it this way iirc. Nascar doesnโ€™t inspect every car after every race in excruciating detail, they just spot check anything they think could have been manipulated.
