So, lets see if I understand all this.
1. The chicane is there to slow down the cars for safety reasons
2. It is a penalty for shortcutting the chicane, but only if you pass a car
when doing so.
3. It is OK to shortcut the chicane if you ease up a bit to let the car you
passed get back ahead of you.
Seems to me that under that interpretation you could run straight through
the chicane on every lap without a problem as long as you don't pass anyone
in the process.

There is. They have a rule that if you short cut a chicane/corner
and gain an advantage you have to let the other car back in
front. Lewis did that.
One of the videos I sent early showed Shumi shortcutting that same
chicane in 2006 in a battle with De La Rosa in the McLaren and NOT
letting De La Rose in front. No penalty to Shumi.
A "Tire wall" behind the kerbs would make every race a processional
race like Monaco.
