Perhaps but WRX isn't exactly cut out for privateer efforts in regards to costs vs interest. Those who have been in it the last two years has either been those with an incredible drive for the sport or those with a huge pocket. Arguably GCK kept it alive with 4 and 5 cars out of 15 or 16 in 2019.
Unlike WRX, WRC is quite big after all so manufacturers are a must for it to continue and maintain interest. I don't think any privateers could afford to run in WRC against the "big bois". I don't fully count M-Sport as privateers either since it's essentially a huge motorsport conglomerate when it comes to developing and building cars.
