They might go for a title sponsor, they might not. They may want a clear-looking car and for the main point to be about the fact it's a hybrid, not that it's sponsored by an Oil company. Maybe they want the cash. Who knows. But if Porsche don't have a title sponsor, it will be because they don't want one.

What kind of manufacturer prefers to spend their own money to race
if they can spend someone else's (sponsor's) money? In F1 all manufacturers have title or other major sponsors. Recently only Honda was without one with their stupid "Earth car" livery. Same for Group C heydays, but Mercedes being the exception.
Aesthetics as a reason to turn down a big [enough] sponsorship deal just doesn't sound believable as long as a it's not a condom brand or something. To me it is really simple: if they won't have a title sponsor, the reason is that WEC/LM is not interesting enough place to sponsor, and that would be worrying.
