The problem is that cost controlled formulas never seem to work, except for Mardaves. And there it is not the cost controlling but the sheer simplicity of the cars that makes things cheap. There is simply not a lot of point spending money trying to make a V12 go quicker!
As you said, when things are naturally cheap, numbers are high. Racing Topcats and Cougars with stock motors as a kid was very inexpensive, or could be, but many people still spent loads. Stock motors back then were hit or miss at best, and some folks bought whole boxes just to find one great one.
Because secretly we don't want even racing. If we have even racing we don't have an advantage over the competition, which make him harder to beat. And if he does beat us, we don't have the excuse his car is better!
