Ouch, so they already have 2 upgrades and they're still 2 seconds off the pace due to the engine alone.
Aduo is only about the combustion engine. If their hybrid unit sucks because Honda sold the entire division in the UK (incl building, fabrication machines and utilities) to Red Bull, they're not allowed to tweak it beyond reliability fixes and control software.
That is not how it works. The ADUO upgrade allowance is decided by ICE performance but the upgrade from ADUO can be used for any part of the PU. That is why the system can be gamed. Merc, who have the best PU already through their advantage in the MGU-K and deployment can keep just improving that part and leave the ICE alone to keep getting upgrade opportunities under ADUO.
Honda have not bought any major updates to electrical side because they have not engineered a better system yet. Losing many of their engineers to RBPT is costing them.

You're right. Silly me, expecting the thing that's monitored to the the thing that's eligible for upgrades.
