F1 and NASCAR are wealthy series and their authority is established and was cultivated over some years. They didn't split. So they can get away with ugly/underwhelming cars.
Indycar threw all their authority and wealth away with the split and find themselves outside and trying to reenter the American public consciousness. To start from scratch, they need a car to turn heads away from Cup; they haven't got that.
