I think you are confusing the objectives here.

There is a collective effort to cost savings on the actual platform that the ACO wants the LMP1 cars to represent.

So first they determine the platform, which included plug in electric laps. Then they determine how that platform can be cost effective (which is to have a spec plug-in system). This isn't a cost cutting with respect to 2018. It's a cost savings on the intent of the 2020 rules.
