In theory, it roughly balances out in the end.

To be fair, I would also be upset at competing 2v3 because my alliance partner didn't pass inspection.

It is less about you, and more about the non-compliant team. Teams spend a lot of effort and money to get to a competition. DQ'ing them and not allowing them to compete at all would totally ruin their season. RI's jump through a lot of hoops to help get non-compliant teams onto the field. Most solutions require disabling the non-compliant system. Unfortunately, non-compliant chassis is not an easy fix.
Letting non-compliant teams compete, but not advance, at least lets the team get on the field for their 6-8 matches. That's about as far as 2/3rds of the teams make it anyway.
Letting them on the field is Gracious Professionalism. Complaining that they may have a marginal affect on your rankings is not.
