I think it's heavily influenced by F1 and their current trajectory.

I could list many more social accounts but here's a couple who picked it up:

Accounts/outlets who probably don't mention Le Mans without him being there are mentioning Le Mans. Simple as that really. I think the ACO respected the event's history enough throughout the week. Wheeling Jacky out again isn't going to move the needle really.
