There is NO RULE saying that that is illegal. If that is how the team chooses to conduct their design and build, that is their business. I don't know of a single team that does that, BTW. The bumper rules are clear-cut (or mostly so, with some recurring "is this legal" Q&A questions that are typically answered quickly and clearly).
