It wouldn't be unjustifiable. He's been in a car that's been nowhere near that of the Red Bull and come incredibly close twice in three years in his inferior car mainly due to the fact that the team put their efforts primarily into supporting his WDC bid. It's hard to imagine Ferrari will get the jump on Red Bull next year so in the forseeable future he won't win another WDC (at least not with Ferrari). For Ferrari it's the right thing to do as it means they'll probably have a good run at the WCC as they've got the strongest driver pairing on the grid. Many would argue they've got the two best drivers on the grid.
