I think you have interpreted that wrong.  They had to go to such an extreme set-up to get the front to turn in that there was no rear stability at all.  Like a see-saw with the fulcrum too close to the front of the car.

 

There was already inherent rear instability in the F14-T to begin with, which was made worse with the extreme set ups Kimi needed.  With a stable rear to begin with Kimi wouldn't have needed to go to those extremes.

Making changes to weight distribution, and suspension design, does not mean the car was built solely around a drivers needs.  If you really view things that black and white, it's no wonder you appear to believe what you said.

 

Arrivabene and Allison have been very consistent on what was changed and why.  There is simply no need to twist their words, this wasn't a shocking revelation, or something not commonly done in F1.  

 

There are people claiming that and more on this thread by viewing what has been said by Allison and Arrivabene in black and white terms yet it's my obvious sarcastic comparisons that you quote and think I believe. Brilliant.

 

I haven't twisted anything they have said.

I already said they firstly design the car to be as fast as possible.  So apparently we agree there.  

 

But it's not simply "setup changes", to design and alter the front suspension geometry, and CoG in a way that allows the driver to hit his preferred setup window.  

 

I never claimed it was.
