You cannot know in advance who's going to be the fastest driver during the weekend or start changing the cameras from car to another during the event.

In addition, obviously WRC2 drivers pay a higher entry fee for both the season and single rally, so it's justified for their sponsors to get more TV exposure in return (even though even they are not really getting anything)
Lots of truth there, but onboards are not really essential if there is good helicopter footage and some stage side cameras too.
