Something worth considering, in my opinion.

While this is true, you're forgetting about the team number displays that would show the wrong team number if the teams simply passed the ethernet cable over from one driver station to the other. This would make it very confusing for the FTAs and their assistants to troubleshoot if they have to.
I've been an FTAA at a regional this year, and the system is a LOT more complicated than one might think. There's a reason for everything and I don't see any reason to mess with it.
