True - but it should also be noted that certainly in my region but I suspect others too if 100 drivers attend a regional realistically no more than 20 will be actively involved in national level racing. The other 80 will be mainly club drivers attending one of their few big meetings of the year.
And herein lies the dilemma: Make regionals too much like nationals and only those doing nationals will go to them BUT relax the rules too much and its really just a big club meeting. Regionals really only make sense with a set of rules bridging the two.
As for not entering regionals - around here it is considered good practice that the other clubs in the region close whenever there is a regional on to encourage people to attend. With up to 6 rounds thats a lot of missed meetings if you don't go.
