We don't know what is going on behind the scene. Who is lobbying for what, what the teams push for, what is the FIA stance. It's easy to blame the organizers but it may be more complicated.
Also... we used to laugh on Monte Carlo organization for their usual chaos but it's good to see that organizing similar event may be much more difficult than we think.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Why do they even give the drivers snow tyres if they are going to cancel snowy stages anyway?
This is bullshit.

It maybe as easy as the rescue vehicles not having tires/chains to come in case someone gets injured. Not a weather to fly rescue helis in. (due to icing, not visibility)
Also if it really got high with snow (10+ cm) you could even risk cars not making it up the hill on wet tires.

This is a joke. Michelin told well before rally, that they will provide winter tyres as conditions can be snowy. Recce was done on snow conditions. All week everyone has been talking only about conditions and that there can be snow on stages. OK, then comes rally and, surprise surprise, there is snow. And what happens, stage needs to be cancelled. Sorry, but I don't get the point of WRC anymore.
