Do remember that it is the FIA WEC. Their first priority is probably to avoid direct clashes with F1, or at least to try to avoid having a WEC and F1 race in the same region on the same weekend.
So, (up to now) you have Spa, Monza, Singapore, Suzuka, Austin, and Mexico City on the one hand. On the other you have (up to now) Mexico City, Austin, Fuji, Shanghai, and Bahrain.
There's only so many weekends in that time frame. Also, I'm guessing both series are trying NOT to have Fuji/Suzuka quite so late, because that far north, you start losing light rather earlier as you get on into later dates.
I'm not saying I like it, but the FIA might have some reasons that aren't total BS for why they do certain things.
