Regarding Nico it's not about gaining just 0.6s.

It's about using an escape route not only to undo the severe time and position penalty that would be the result of a pure driver mistake but actually gaining from it.

It was also not a move done to save himself from a mistake or reckless driving by another driver where keeping your position when regaining would be ok.

He made the mistake himself and elected to use the escape route to save an extend his lead, not cool. If the escape route wasn't there the mistake would for sure lead to losing several positions and most likely his race would have been over, not just a loss of 0.6s. A drive through penalty would be a much fairer ruling here IMO. The escape route is there as a safety measure to prevent accidents, not to prevent loss of position when you screw up the corner entry.
