The person owning their own bizjet aircraft will likely not be bothered too much by having the crew do 2x 25min positioning - again, if you have to ask how much they cost to run, you can't afford it in the first place!
For us - sure, a nuisance, but nothing worse than at so many other airports around the world...
Well, my employers are thinkers and of the calculating sort. Make it unattractive enough and they will stop owning a bizjet.
This always seems to follow the same rules, first its one or two airports and all of a sudden its quite a lot of em employing "measures"... thinking back to the introduction of airport slots, A-CDM, Eurocontrol flow control measures etcetc.
