It would appear as a backward step and a retrograde in development.

Since 1987, the engines have got progressively smaller from 3.5L down to the 1.6L unit we have today. At the same time, the maximum number of cylinders has dropped from unrestricted, through 12, 10, 8 and now 6.

For the majority of F1 investors, I expect they may see a move to V10 or V12 as going in the wrong direction.
