The other exception was the Toro Rosso guys in Q2 that elected to not attempt getting into Q3 and rather stayed just behind the threshold allowing them to select tires freely for the race.

What about Kyvat, Button, Gutierrez, Vandoorne not even having a chance to make a second lap in quali 2. The countdown clock started before any of them had made it in from their first flying lap. Kyvat and Gutierrez both had cars capable of quicker times.
Kyvat crossed the line at 9:38 in quali 2, countdown clock was at 38sec for position 15. How is it good for fans he is not allowed to improve his time? But, Gut, Van were in the same situation.
You are ok with the dead track at end of quali 2? And only Ferrari and Mercedes running at end of quali 1?
The elimination quali provides less cars on the track, opposite of what it was suppose to provide.
