By that definition, every single car on the grid should be DQ'd. The FIA defined 'immobile' with their set of static tests. RB passed the FIA's tests.
I still think this has more to do with the fact that it's Red Bull doing it and not a universally liked team i.e. Williams, etc. If the latter were the case, I don't think we wouldn't be talking about this.

You're cherry picking. Read the entirety of the rule. You are deliberately leaving out, "remain immobile in relation to the sprung part of the car". The RBR wing does not fit this parameter which is why it will be out in France.
And to be clear...I LOVE INNOVATION IN F1!!
The Brawn Double Diffuser and the even more radical one on the never-raced Toyota TF-109 were things of beauty. DAS was brilliant. The McLaren F-Duct...brilliant. The Renault Mass Damper...brilliant. These exploited loopholes in the rules which were closed. The Flexible Wing is DESIGNED and MANUFACTURED to get around the rule and the testing for the rule. It is like the Ferrari Fuel Flow shenanigans. It was a cheat designed specifically to circumvent the letter and spirit of the rules. It's straight-up cheating.
