Generally the amount of manufacturer seems to be such an absolute value for sportscar fans. F1 all teams are called constructors for a reason. Would you rather take couple of cheap rebadge "manufacturers" than one big non-manufacturer private team like Red Bull?
I agree, teams like Red Bull, McLaren and Williams are ''manufacturers'', themselves, and some of their technology has in fact ended up in road cars, with of course McLaren being the greatest example.

In years like 1989, Le Mans had far more quality manufacturers than F1 in C1 Alone. Yet F1 was still by a country mile the most popular sport. If people didn't care back then why would they care now?

P1 is no more quality in terms of manufacturers than F1.
