The number of folks who think money is meaningless to making a series work is sadly flat earth believer levels of delusion. You don't think if Sebring rolled out the funding (not happening and the dates are massively restricted for the full course) WEC wouldn't be there instead? Or the costs at Silverstone were profitable? Fact is it isn't and that's been a part of racing since it stopped being aristocrats burning the family money in pursuit of their fun.
I would also guess teams and partners have connections and events in ME that help to buy ticket packages and event spaces that fund YOUR reduced price to all events. Take away a profitable event and well you'll be watching only old Group C or GTP events from the past and wondering what happened.
TLDR: It's the money stupid, it's always the money
