ALMS is not more expensive than IndyCar.
A reasonalbly competitive privateer team with a suitable used chassis and an engine lease can run the full ALMS season for about $3.5 million.
However, Conquest bought two new Panoz DP01s shortly before the merger happened last year, which made them a total waste of money, then spent $$$ to convert to IndyCar, so I doubt that Eric Bachaelart would want to fork out more money to start up an ALMS program when his focus should be on his open wheel program.
