It was never running without commercial partners. When it started it was sponsored by Jaguar, then by Autosport (who sold the sponsorship on to others, like Bentley and Corvette some years), then Gulf and most recently Mobil 1. I may have missed some too.
Don't underestimate how much it costs to do something like RLM: There's absolutely no likelihood that they would do it if there were no commercial partners.
