'cause they sell car, not drivers. as strange it may sound in our bubble, general public doesn't care who is driving a car, and also if the car is p1 or p5. it's just wow effect that sells cars. just as the yesterday video. 90% of casual viewers was hit by the car, not by the driver. same (million) people that follow block social media (selling fords not so long ago) never cared about his wrc result. marketing wise 1 mil view on audi electric is many much worth than any ogier title winning clip.

I've yet to see the rule that says you can't develop a Rally1 without manufacturer support or approval.
I can rely on the Loeb rumours now, what bigger name could Ford want? Doesn't matter really if he's only doing a part-season, they'll get enough clips and images.
This is one rumour I can't rely on.

So who will they nominate for manufacturer points? Breen, Loeb and Fourmaux?

I mostly agree with you, but it only goes to a point.
The majority of casual viewers don't care if the car gets 2 wins or 10. But if the car becomes a laughing stock that never got any good result, it spreads Even faster these days than in the past.
If they get some podiums and maybe 1-2 wins per year, that is for sure enough for Ford. (say like 2003-2004 season). But I don't think a season like 2021 would work with a new car.

"Finally, the M-Ford Team will enter 3 or 4 crews with Ford Puma Hybrid Rally1s, whose names will be officially announced next week."
