Of course it does, hell if six years ago you would've asked JMB Racing or whoever smaller team whether they'd wanna race against AF Corse & Felbermayr Proton or rather not (or think of similar proam situation in P2) and still gonna be able to fight for similar trophy, we all know what they would have answered. Obviously ROI is better if your chance of winning is artificially amplified exponentially.

The world is the same (whatever financial situation is), the ideology is not. Because everybody has got so used of sub-class proam cost cap privateer separations, it is automatically expected that your series have that solution for you. Or, as ELMS now shows, many solutions...

indeedy ACO...
