So True... It may be some only get to run eliminator for any of a 1000 reasons. Maybe the class spread was already there and they missed the classes being 19 cars at indy. Maybe they chose a car they liked and fit a less populated class making their goal obviously run fast to hit the Q sheet higher. Some started when cars were more do it yourself, cheaper and more plentiful so more similar cars to race.
Still Too Expensive to run today for many or most. Still need a cheaper class that can do both.
