The only conclusion I can see is that Porsche knew they couldn't make the tyres last significantly more than a stint, so running lean to save a fuel stop wasn't just about getting the jump on Audi/Toyota; it was also limiting the time loss from having to change tyres at every stop.
As for Audi, they look better the deeper we dig into the minutiae, although the struggle to overtake the other cars (Lotterer aside) will still be a concern for them going to the Tilkedromes.
