The thing that stops the copying imo, is the complexity of ground effects.

You mentioned that in your previous post, it's pointless other teams copying and wasting their budget on something that would unlikely work, it all depends partly on what's hidden in between the floor and the outer body.
Naturally the front wing and splitter design is the entry force of the air that the floor and side pods have to react to together with the action of the rear diffuser and wing.
A team that can get it right will actually be making their car go quicker solely with the forced out air from the back pushing the car forward and more so with weight reduction.
