I understand why WGT does unlimited entry / restarts but from a players perspective it has a number of side effects. I won't even begin to touch on all of them.
It would be interesting and add another layer of posting a competitive round if WGT could add a "restart" type of penalty like .5 stroke penalty added to your score for every restart attempted. Someone restart 5 times they better make sure they can make up the 2.5 strokes added to their play.
Some could do so easily, but it would force some to seriously reconsider how many times they restart on hole 1 due to a more challenging starting wind.
It would also distinguish between tie breakers a bit.
Players would then have to think more about how many times they attempt an event while still remaining competitive.
another thing it would reveal ... players who consistently shoot low scores after only 1 or 2 attempts... compared to the player that may shoot a comparable score but did so after 20 or 30 attempts. On the scorecard... they both appear to have shot the same score, but the one player is clearly... a much better and much more consistent / skilled player over the other.
As it stands, all you lose is a few extra ball hits, but when you know you have to shoot absurdly low in the first round to remain competitive, if you choose to play... it seems futile to waste even more ball hits early in a round if you make 1 or worse 2 pars early. I know I have fallen prey to using this tactic at times, feeling it necessary if I wanted to have a chance to remain competitive, but it does not mean it is always best for the game.
