Even the auto-invites are cheapened by the fact that teams get auto-invites regardless of performance if they are accepted into the WEC.

You misunderstand my point, with the possible exception of Corvette, every car on the ALMS grid will be built with or without the ALMS, and every car that runs at Le Mans is eligable for the ALMS.
You can see with GA how difficult it is to attract the variety of brands the ALMS has, in both LMP and GT, without resorting to tube-frame cars that are essentially the same under the skin, now we see GA dipping into the GT3 pool to up the variety and desirability of their grids.
