It that's true, then how about ACO and IMSA allow these GrandT3 cars?
Grand-Amised GT3s would be slow a hell compared to GTEs. Which I guess wouldn't that bad of an issue really.

I think one of the real reasons ACO doesn't really wanna touch GT3 is, you guessed it, performance balancing. ELMS organizers were asked last year on why were they planning to introduce GTC class instead of full GT3, and the answer was "balance of performance would be a nightmare".

Also, right now ACO doesn't need GT3, GT2 is perfectly fine as it is.
