I can appreciate that it would be "nice" to let a team pick their spot. I'm guessing to minimize problems, they keep positions hard coded.

FWIW: I don't think there is a requirement that the driver stay in their team's position. If you bring a long enough ethernet cord, you can be in whatever position the teams agree.
I'm not saying that you should be able to pick for all of quals, but elims there is plenty of time to be able to pick where you want to go. They did it in 2015 why can't they do it now?
