The torque sensors were supposed to outright replace air restrictors, which would basically leave us with the sanctioning body controlling the performance of the engine directly. That fits with the (often forgotten) intent of GT3 to have heavily production based spec cars running together but it's not something the manufacturers were ever going to accept in GTE even with the homologated engines and constant restrictor tweaks to try to neutralize any performance improvements.
Homologation specials tend to be a failing of the homologation requirements. There's no way an ultra limited production hypercar like the Ford GT should be racing 911s and Corvettes to start with but somehow it's supposed to be a great idea because BoP will fix it. (just like it fixed the MC12 to 5 straight FIA GT championships)
