I’m not an engineer but my understanding is the mgu-k is road relevant and “easy” to develop, while the mgu-h is crazy complicated and very difficult to develop and it has minimal road car relevance.
So dropping just the one could attract new engine suppliers and allow them to develop towards full electric.
I also believe FE has a monopoly on full electric racing for the next 25 years or something. A merge would have to happen because F1 can’t go full electric while FE exists.
If it’s going to be a unique sport, ICE might be the way to go. Despite the environmental concerns. Or simplify the current hybrids. Nobody really wants full electric. Not fans or teams.
