Could someone explain again why does ELMS and WEC regs have to differ in the matter of points scoring?

As added bonus WEC drivers will score points whatever races they may enter, but not teams. Why?
It's like WEC wants to do everything the difficult way. The ELMS option has even been
referred to as positive change by Neveu himself...
Are they really just scared for the "protection of their customers", as in Jota Sport and likes only entering the European events yet still scoring in high end by obiliteriating the world championship entries through just being better... we all remember last year
Or maybe they really just don't want any more entries than the self imposed grid cap so that they don't have to worry about garage allocations and can safely plan them months ahead, with sparse garages allocated for storing Coke cans.
Maybe I'm too cynical again but really why cannot they just do what ELMS does. Above all would avoid the embarrasments at LM. IIRC Graham Goodwin has suggested that there would be some sort of points for overall clas position + points for WEC position thingie at LM to work as replacement for current double points for WEC position, but even though that would be slightly better, really wouldn't just regular scoring be much simpler and fairer
