What's the urgency to bend the rules? It is not like SpaceX is banned for good. It will be included as soon as it meets the requirements.

If you’re buying into a tech-marketed fund like the NASDAQ 100 and it doesn’t include a large chunk of the tech market, you’re no longer passively investing in tech. You’re investing in an actively-managed fund.

Historically, companies like SpaceX would have gone public earlier and grown into the index. Recognizing that has changed with multiple $1+ trillion IPO contenders makes sense; as it turns out, I think both NASDAQ and S&P decided correctly.
