The auto-invites are a desperate attempt to fill the grid, let's be honest. Last year at one point they were going to give GT first and second entries, but I think that was scrapped.
I don't know what the ACO is doing, but the problem with AsLMS GT class also exists in the Le Mans Cup class. There are plenty of GT3 cars floating about, but yet the ACO only ever manages to get a small handful. So what are they not doing? Yeah, you can say that people want to enter higher series than Le Mans Cup, so go to SRO and Blancpain, but Blancpain also has the Sports Club, and there's a decent amount of GT3s in Creventic etc. So why can't the ACO capture a meaningful percentage of these? Clearly, Le Mans invites are not cutting it, so what are they missing?
