Makes me wonder if they need one. I guess between self sponsorship (M-Sport), Castrol and the Ford input, they have enough to run a whole season. Aside from bringing more money to reduce the running costs and pay wages, I wonder if a title sponsor would actually allow for more development and therefore a faster car? Or would they simply operate at the same performance level, but with reduced costs for M-Sport?

It's a fair point - but they obviously 'cut their cloth' accordingly; they are a well run team and make the most of everything they have. A larger budget is always going to help, especially in development, etc however, I do wonder whether a larger budget can sometimes get wasted on non essentials.
If they couldn't get a title sponsor when they won drivers & manufacturers titles, then it's going to be difficult to get one now they're not as successful. And is possibly a reflection of were the sport is to the outside world - rather than the smaller world of rallying.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

For me it sound reasonable to remove Hybrid from the car in terms of cost saving. If I am not mistaken, one unit is ca 15% of the total car cost. And in most of the rallies, more than one unit is...
