Essentially Merc represented by Ross Brawn managed to pull the wool over everyone's eyes and game the system to suit a massive investment they had sunk into hybrid power units. They were untouchable and realized if they did not help Ferrari then the rules would be changed, so they helped Ferrari and are now enjoying a nice little oligopoly where the two teams can block any inconvenient rule changes that will destroy their (Mercedes and Ferrari) advantage.
Hill is correct, Merc invested billions, and helped Ferrari, and nobody else can afford to chase this dead end technology that is only relevant to F1.
