The counterarguments i got once were about costs and allowing drivers to drive their preferred or home events with the current system, while if you force it you could mess that up for them.

I would propose something like this: you can choose 4 of the first 8 rounds, then there are 3 fixed rounds that everyone has to do. In the first part of the season you would have indirect competition like now but it would build up some interest and give more people a chance to win rallies. Then in the final 3 rounds you are guarenteed direct competition and you see who is the best in a direct fight.
Sporting reasons aside, the extra rounds won't happen. Chances of finding a WRC quality event that will want to host them are zero. Promoter would have no interest in giving them coverage, there's only two serious teams. They're either championships worthy of their own promotional charge or they'll remain the bolt on cups they currently are that no serious commercial decision or business case can be made on.
