Because the ACO's business model is entirely based around Le Mans, which operates on an entirely different plane from the rest of sports car racing. That race alone is one of the few things in motorsport that approaches F1 for prestige and attention and they've always tried to pull up the sport with that rather than pull down the race to the level of everything else like Indy did.
F1 itself is going to be back to a privateer based sport if anything after this anyways though, so we're going to be in for a big adjustment to what a big time racing program looks like. Hopefully the answer isn't just spec cars and GT4 for everyone but scaling down to where innovation is viable instead of 100 people working on a winglet.
