GTE is only in the race for manufacturers. It isn't cost effective as borne out by how few privateers there are racing where they don't automatically get into Le Mans by doing so. Right now it's mostly that forced 50/50 ratio that drives teams from LMP2 where there's a colossal bottleneck to GTE Am. GTE Pro had an impressive car count last year but that's something of an illusion thanks to Ford and Porsche entering 4 cars. You could lose half of those 17 practically overnight.
If you allowed LMP3 in the big show and went back to the fastest x cars you would fill up the field with prototypes instantly.
