We are not talking about giving Tanak an optimal time as if the stage has been cancelled for him and remaining at the same position.
We are talking about allowing him to continue providing the spectators with action, with all the time loss of having a flat, which is the whole goal of the sport.

It was Tänak who took the risk of being retired if he don't have tyres left to do the liaison. It was him who decided that 20 kg advantage over Toyotas is worth the risk of taking zero points from Monte.

they could allow flying service again. a small van that follows the cars and waits at the finish of every stage.

that would solve most of the current problems.

That would only create heaps of new problems. Those cars would have to get there somehow and to be parked somewhere. Especially in Monte Carlo this is nonsense. Just remember where Ogier was changing wheel today behind the stop control - he nearly blocked the liaison by one parked car.
