Don't confuse Ecclestone with the FIA. One shouldn't get blamed for teh other's mistakes

ITC was as a result of the DTM and manufacturers wanting to expand. FIA had to be involved once it became an international series.

Even if they hadn't evolved into the ITC, the DTM wouldn't have lasted that much longer anyhow. Manufacturers were already spending obscene amounts of money on the latest cutting edge technology and that was never going to be sustainable.

So you are saying that some died due to FIA action and some due to FIA inaction. So dammed if they do and dammed if they don't then.
