Sure, but the point is just because no one has announced doesn't mean no one has started preparing. Contrary to all the doom and gloom I feel like Peugeot is now more likely to return in 2018, because the organizers are now going to be much more desperate to bring them in. Peugeot has done LMP1 and in house factory run motorsport programs much more recently than Porsche had, so it should be much easier for them to come back.
Despite what Toyota is currently spending it seems like Toyota and Peugeot both have about the same kind of budget they want to in the long term, it's pretty clear what the ACO and FIA need to do. I know the Peugeot Sport director was talking about non-hybrid cars a few days ago but Audi Sport was also a huge proponent of the GRE and has still never raced one.
