Rallying is meant to be an Endurance sport, cruising to the finish is what sometimes happens - if fans can't accept that, then maybe rallying isn't the sport for them....Maybe watch Rallycross.
It's like handing out points at 60 mins in a football match, and then some more at 90; or giving points out at 4 hours in a WEC race, and some more at the 6 hour end of race......
More dumbing down of a sport that seems to want to become irrelevant.....

I think part of this is caused by the lack of cars in the top class - with fewer cars you need to make sure that as many as possible are a) still running on Sunday and b) actually pushing.
As you say the priorties are wrong - working on more entries in the top class (or changing the top class so there are more entries) would seem to be the better long term solution. This tinkering with points doesn't solve the underlying issues.
