LMP1 costs are as high as they are in part because it isn't feasible to sell customer cars in any number for one championship with an entry cap. Having their regulation changes not line up with LMP2 anymore has not helped either although ORECA has still managed to use one base car for 3 different sets of regulations spanning 7 years and counting, the Adess ran in both classes, and the Dallaras aren't that different.

But that's by design, LMP1 is now intended as a constructors championship like F1 for some god forsaken reason.
