Nothing 2nd string about it - the winner of the main game is awarded the ATCC, as they should be.
It was and still is prestigious - hence the winner of the main game being awarded the ATCC.
Awarding the ATCC to anything other than the peak series would be a complete joke and denigrate the history of the title - as it has always been about the peak touring car series in the country. Giving the title to the winner of a (currently) 2nd string series, regardless of whether that series used the ATCC name or not, would dishonour the memory of those who have previously been awarded the title.
