This is true, but it wasn't as clean cut as that was it? ORECA just happened to have a head start on the new LMP2 regulations, and then the way the regulations are written means nobody is allowed to adjust their product apart from 1 set of heavily regulated "joker" upgrades.
Imagine that in any other sport. The new football league is going to have one game. And only one team is allowed to know the rules before hand. And if you lose, thats it. But in 2 years we might give a rematch - but only if we decide it, and even then it's after the winning team has had years of income from the win, and you don't get anything.
I don't agree with helgi rather extreme views, but I don't think looking at LMP2 and saying "certain points of this were a failure, and it is much less diverse than it should/could be" is a bad thing.
