Which also means they're banned in every running event sanctioned by world athletics.

It also has nothing to do with carbon but rather the stack height (>40mm is illegal).

These are banned for the stack height not the plate.

To your point, none of the ASICS shoes listed even have a plate. Two of them are basic daily trainers, so it's more to do with the letter of the law, re: stack height, than specific performance benefits.
