I think Mr Lukyanuk is one of those drivers that drives max no matter how good the car is. It is just another challenge for him.
But I think he liked the car more in the latter part of 20, with more new parts, that made it easier to drive.

Hyundai is certainly not wasting his time.
One way to look at it is that it's good idea to "use" a driver for whatever is needed.
Another speculation is that they "gave up" on collecting any WRC2 points with the old car and are just focusing on the new one. Not sure when exactly it is planned to appear, maybe they are trying to homologate it faster so they can run it from Croatia.
The development team likely has time since new WRC does not have green light.
Oliver is primarily hired to compete in Rally2 in 2021.
So smart of them to give him a real 2-3 day test, where he can test everything he need to be happy. And if needed give input to last minut changes before homologation.
Also Kowax's team principal confirmed that the will get one of the firsts Rally2 cars.
