The series has needed to be put out of its misery for a while now, and I don't think the previous rules (TC1?) were any better when it was the WTCC which ultimately means its down to poor management despite them blaming fuel and whatever questionable justifications they come up with.
(Covid aside), For me the championship hasn't lived up to the status of being a world series for a long time now - cars, choice of tracks, manufacturer driven politics, the issues with the tyres, the way the BOP can mean a car can go from the front to the back of the grid almost from one race weekend to the next, the poor TV coverage and promotion from Discovery/ Eurosport.
Hopefully the force for a rethink will mean something better can be created - even if it takes a few years for it to grow again.
