Goodyear/Dunlop still has had a reason to put out as good tires as before because Michelin is still involved in LMP2, and will be at Le Mans 2020 too. When they will be the sole factor, there is nothing stopping them just using the same compounds for years without developments, because why would you bother.
Anyway yes, nothing is as bad as Hoosier-Continental was in Grand-Am and the fusion series. What made it worse was the constant praise everyone was required to give them on TV and press releases, I doubt people have that in their contracts on this side of the pond
