In reading this comment by Sam Michael on the F1 website, it struck me that from the smaller team's pov testing bans are a double edge sword but the degree of encumbrance is different for teams in different stages of development, funding, an resources.
New teams don't get to test and develop but established (manufacturers) teams don't get to put into place all of their available resources. If anything it probably hinders the mid field teams least.
In the end it does serve the purpose of being a great equalizer.

“After a couple of good race results at two quite different circuits, the team is looking forward to a competitive outing at Hockenheim. Our target is to qualify both cars in the top ten and to race for points. We have made some further modifications to the diffuser and also to the blown rear wing, which we'll test during Friday’s practice sessions. Although the development race is fierce, testing restrictions really enable all of the teams to compete on equal terms."
"I don't want to be part of a forum where everyone has differing opinions." Boom...
