then why does m-sport needs ford? why did prodrive needed bmw/mini?
unless i'm wrong, only official manufacturers can homologate a car, so only car manufacturers can build a wrc car.
if if would want to build a lets say new subaru wrc car, i couldn't unless subaru allows me to. even if i build it exactly according to the rules.

You build your Subaru and homologated it with Subaru Impreza denkimi F01, and if Subaru co. want to build and homologate own version it be Subaru Impreza WRC. Two homologation at same time.
But one small thing, you doesn't have those amount of money. And Subaru doesn't want spend it to WRC programme
M-Sport can build any car, but they works with Ford and they build Ford Fiesta and homologate it. Not Ford.
