Anyone smart enough to explain how the gearbox change will affect racing?

I've read somewhere that it's not going to affect racing much and it's more about cost. The Aston Martin camp is pushing for simplification of the gearbox (perhaps going so far to try making it a spec part) now that they won't have access to Mercedes's one from 2026.
