Problem is who pays for it??

If you want sponsors involved then you need an exciting product. You can't on the one hand talk about a lack of entertainment being ok and then casually talk about someone spending millions to build a car.

Do you honestly think Audi and Peugeot would have spent millions without a cast iron power advantage over petrol in the regs? They needed to be incentivised to take the technical risk. If the peak power output of a diesel was the same as petrol in the regs they would not have done it.

Same as Porsche don't bring a hybrid GT car with the same fuel tank capacity as the GTE's - it's a GT3 carrying more fuel, and that is why it stops less...
