Situation right now: BoP-favoured DPs few in numbers because of the costly upgrades and BoP war; BoP-ditched LMP2s very few in numbers because they feel unwelcome.
Situation if P2 top class and DP secondary: DP possibly few in numbers because of the lower status; LMP2 healthier than now due overall wins being 100% realistic for these fully ACO spec machines AND there's the upcoming regs coming up for the said formula.
Losing lowly supported "Corvette" bodyworks and Ecoboosts, had that actually happened, doesn't seem like such huge loss
