From what I’ve seen George doesn’t really seem too bothered about it either way, so if it’s neutral for George but Lewis has a preference it would seem logical to follow Lewis’ preference with this. It would be different if this was at the expense of George but it isn’t so I don’t think there’s any deliberate “favoritism” going on.
Seeing as though it's a big issue for Lewis but George is happy with it don't you think changing things to suit Lewis could potentially cause Russell to dislike the new direction, doesn't seem fair to me.
There is certainly a potential that it could be seen that way. When this idea was first floated around it was said that both drivers had driven a modified version in the sim and it didn’t seem to make a difference to George. Of course this could be untrue, depending on the source of the article, etc.
So far the info we have (or I’ve seen at least) seems to indicate George doesn’t have a strong preference between keeping the current cockpit and shifting it rearward. If he does prefer the current layout and Mercedes changed it anyways then it would be more unfair for sure, but nothing seems to indicate that’s the case.
It’s like if two people want to go out to a restaurant, and person A doesn’t care where they go or what cuisine there is while person B is a particularly picky eater, it would make sense to go where person B wants to go because it’s more important to them, and person A doesn’t care regardless.

Anyway, that's between him and Mercedes to figure out. I have no opinion on where their cockpit should be.
