Rallyings relevant as they've had strict homologation regs for decades, yet there's still freedom to build your own engines.
How often do teams/manufactuers make engine changes, engines aren't sealed once homologated, there's some freedom for development. Konrad built their own Saleen engines, this was rumoured to be one of the reasons behind their reliability issues.

First off, I think you should compare apples to apples, ie; GM, Acura, Aston Martin, Audi, Ferrari, Porsche, Peugeot. How many of these do you see letting loose of control of their product? None! It is not low risk to these entities.
As to your tuner reference, once again, how many of these do you see being tuned by outside sources? Zero, if they wish to retain any relationship with the Mfg!
L.P.
