If the artificial gene insert was designed so that it doesn't propogate to the next generation (which is theoretically possible), would you consider this more fair? That is to say, Monsanto wouldn't have to impose any 'artificial rules' because their plant crops are designed to last a single generation.

This has been done by breeders for years; no need for any "biotech" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F1_hybrid

Interesting question. To be honest, I'm not sure, but I'll be considering it this evening over a beer.
