First off Ham was ahead going into the corner and max left him no space to even attempt the inside line, this was similar to what Max did in Brazil, so by your logic Max should have also gotten a black flag (only difference was Ham was smart enough to move). Ham also got a penalty for this move, and Max didn't even get an investigation so by your logic (if a decision isn't in your favor it is a conspiracy to get you) it is Maxfia.
Second in response to "back off for what", this is where race iq and maturity comes into play, in the term live to fight another day. Max should have realized he was ahead by alot in the championship so he has more to lose, thus he should have played it safe and back off to avoid any damage. But Max lacks the maturity to do so and wants to fight every single second even when it is not beneficial or wise to do so, as shown by him battling a back marker in Ocon at the end of the race for literally no reason at all.
