agreed. but reality is there's no chance to see new brands at least until new regulations*, so thinking to improve what we have now is not so bad.
then if brands attractive new reg comes out for 2027 on, this rally2 rule will be outdated. we've seen rally2 regs change every other year from wrc2-pro-open-junior-master so don't see it as a problem to try a couple of seasons.

*if subaru is entering any sooner will be some kind of toyota platform car. could be easily done for rally2 also. (i'm highly sceptical about this happening, just to be clear!)
