I don't follow.

Ducati and Red Bull Racing are very interested in winning.

Toyota Gazoo Racing and Ferrari AF Corse are also very interested winning. But the rules changed from LMP1 to LMH+LMDh so it is no longer a pure competition (diesel & petrol equivalence was also problematic mind you).

Bring back LMP1 I say!

Care to elaborate? GTE used to produce close racing, my understanding is that BOP in Hypercar was meant to produce nose-to-tail battles like GTE for the whole race.

If it's just to get cars in a window, while cars that used to win races are now a lap down because they are so heavy, I don't see the use of it. It's more like gifting a win to Porsche or Peugeot and sabotaging Toyota and Ferrari than anything else.
