That would only work if you massively simplify the engine regulations, otherwise prospective manufacturers will look at what Honda have been up to, and run for the hills at the thought of spending hundreds of millions of dollars only to make themselves look very silly in front of a global audience.

The move to hybrid or fully electric cars on the road means that any 100% petrol engine is going to look outdated and irrelevant to most manufacturers. Does that matter? To the race fan, probably no. The the prospective engine manufacturers - probably yes.
Why not simplify the engine regulations, it would bring the costs down?
