From a business and viability standpoint WEC even now is pretty well above average in terms of overall health of a world championship for sports car racing. The top class is what it is this year but in terms of overall manufacturer involvement and consistent car counts it's head and shoulders above a couple Rothmans Porsches railing everyone and fields dropping well into the teens for some rounds, let alone all of the years with no championship, or an IGTC style manufacturer's championship rather than a series.
I don't think you can put the blame for the vast majority of small motorsport constructors quitting the business solely on the ACO somehow, the Dallara open wheel monopoly had already stretched things past the breaking point. The number of LMPs racing anywhere in the world is barely comparable to one single seater series.
