I'm not sure you can really call them out on sportsmanship grounds for not shelling out the money and increased infrastructure to create a customer programme. Especially when others have said, they have absolutely no need (or obligation) to do it as a fully factory supported outfit. Besides VAG can always just point to Skoda for their customer rallying programme.
I think the best we could hope for is a kind of satellite squad to appear which runs a couple of cars, but retains close links with the factory. If/when they actually start to get some serious competition they might consider it.

Open market is an honour in many places. Why do some choose to have a closed one in rallying?
It´s not a big issue, maybe only for the drivers good enough to handle such cars and also having money to buy them."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"
