I laughed....When asked by DirtFish if Hyundai should consider backing just him in the drivers’ championship, Neuville said that was against the ethos of the team.
“As I’ve always said, I’m more of a team player than maybe some other drivers,” he said.
There are whole articles with Neuville complaining how team should prioritize him harder from 2018. Based on how MSport prioritized Ogier over Evans and Suninen for example in Finland that year.
As one of the results other Hyundai drivers were not allowed to push on PS from about mid 2018 unless in a direct fight with someone else not to steal "Neuville's" points.
Consequently this led FIA to change rules so that from this year, manu points are also earned on PS.

Correct. And Latvala might be right also in a sense that Tänak didn't talk to him as he isn't deciding driver line-ups.
