This is like the slowest dumbest knee jerk reaction I have seen F1 involved with.
Bianchi was killed becuse there was a crane in the damn run off of a fast corner in a wet race with extremely poor visibility, and somehow they think extra cockpit protection would have helped...
Only when halos and screens become capable of vaporizing cranes.
Research into frontal head protection has been going on for way longer than that, at least as far back as the Surtees and Massa accidents.
The FIA's own report acknowledges nothing would have saved Bianchi other than the crane not being there at all, so your assertion that these devices are a knee-jerk reaction to that accident makes no sense.
