DTM has always had a problem with it being a mostly manufacturer backed series, just look back at the DTM/ITC.
Manufacturers are only concerned with what their board of directors want, boards change and so do priorities/direction.
BTCC had the same issue at the end of the 90's, so many manufacturers left the championship and it struggled on for years before being reinvented with NGTC.
I expect the DTM won't take place in 2021, what would BMW have to gain from spending millions to race against itself. If a privateer beats a works BMW that will that say to the board of directors.
I am also in no doubt the series will be relaunched in a few years when the economy has recovered.
