F1 has managed for many years to get at least 10 teams on the grid. In the past they had often way more candidates than available places.
Meanwhile wrc struggles to keep 2 teams.
The difference? F1 does not require an official car maker to build a car. F1 does not require expensive homologation procedures that can only be done by some big marque.
Anyone who can find the money should be able to build a wrc car. I'm sure a lot of compagnies could build very capable cars if they would be allowed to.

F1 directly pays money to teams, in these old numbers from 2016 it was 42 million USD to every team. With point bonuses even the weakest team got 56 mil:

Afaik WRC teams get nothing.

They pay their enty fee based on the amount of points they had the year before. Williams payd 562.000 euro entry fee.
And at the end of the year mercedes got 177 million back as price money, while williams received 60 million.
Meanwhile every wrc factory team must pay 326.000 euro's and gets nothing back for winning.

If F1 could get away with having three Constructors, with all the teams using those three cars, they arguably would. Even with it being against the spirit of the rules, you have aspects of it with Ferrari & Haas, Mercedes & Force India/Aston Martin, Red Bull & Toro Rosso/AlphaTauri.
If anything, having to build your own car has been a major limiting factor for F1 entries.
F1 has managed to avoid going down to 16 cars at various points because the Promoter/Bernie got involved, because if the number of cars dropped bellow that it had various contractual implications for the promoter. That's why Jordan and Minardi in their various forms survived the superpower years.
If the WRC were in the same position as F1, it'd be ideally suited to the likes of Qatar/Abu Dhabi, Lukoil or Lotos or even Red Bull running their own private Yaris, I20 or Fiestas teams with equipment from the manufacturers.

To be honest, I don't think any series can/ should try to compare themselves to F1. It's just a huge juggernaut that pulls in massive numbers worldwide and generates money most other series can only dream of.
MotoGP has factory, and satellite teams, which ensures a healthy grid. So you'll have Honda, Yamaha, Ducati, Suzuki, KTM & Aprilia all with factory teams, plus the satellites. And it works - producing the most competitive racing around.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
