I suspect BMW think they have: the i8.

And as you say, it seems likely that the replacement for the Audi R8 will also be electric.

It's not a co-incidence that that three manufacturers committed long-term to the WEC are the three for whom sportscars are their actual business. While the more mainstream makers are happy to make money (and get free marketing) sellling GT3s to rich people to race, there is no reason whatsoever for them to invest in a GTE. No business case, no marketing case, no technology case, nothing.
