As with the speed you are looking at the wrong thing, you are seeing what happened when cutting the chicane and compare it with if HAM would have executed the chicane well and you see no advantage by cutting. However the option of a well executed chicane was not on the table, only cutting it or endup in a very poor speed or out of shape unable to defend.

Even if Ham had slowed a little earlier to make the apex, Ricciardo was not ever close enough to make an outside move.
You would have an argument if Ricciardo at least had a wheel next to Ham coming out of the tunnel.
