What they asked Norris was simply just be fair, and Piastri was behind him only because they basically let him be there, and it would be fair to give Piastri what he deserves.
In the end, I understand why both Piastri and Norris would have been upset, it is not a clear win like they would want to, but this is the fair thing, this is how it has to be done for a team to be equal to both drivers.

McLaren developed a bad strategy for Piastri and caused him to be overtaken by Norris after last pit. I'm okay with that. However McLaren should have thought more thoroughly anyway. Norris has a more realistic chance to push for winning a championship now. It can't be denided I think considering McLaren is the fastest right now.
Piastri's first win could have been in a better way than this. Norris should have been given the win to collect 7 more very important points. Think about the chance he might even lose the championship because of that.
It looks like McLaren is prioritizing constructor championship, not Norris' chance.
He clearly states how terrible Red Bull was with the strategies. Maybe he put it in a really strict way but he should be tolerated for that honestly.
McLaren has made huge progress and they are getting more trusted in time. At the moment the odds are like Norris 1.73, Verstappen 2.60 for the win. This shows how much competitive race is waiting for us clearly. If Piastri can't overtake Norris at the start, his duty would be to keep Verstappen as much as possible. But can he? We will see. 
Norris was 4.50 before FP1 and now his line is cut by more than half now at 2.00. No value anymore for Norris. But Verstappen is priced just right at 3.00 imho. That could he a good bet if you missed putting some money on Norris.
