Basically
Basically in a nut shell:
Capito told Autosport: "If somebody of the calibre of Kris Meeke or Sebastien Loeb comes for three rallies, it's clear they win and this devalues the whole championship, because the public doesn't know why the guy who leads the championship [Ogier] has no chance to win.
"They think: 'Ah, he's not the real world champion because the other guy wins; this guy who has come three times, he should be the world champion'."

The running order issue is not going away – however, there is a time and a place for this discussion.
Denigrating a driver after a well deserved win is crass, insensitive and downright rude. The sooner he leaves for F1/ McLaren the better…….
Wildcard/ local/specialist drivers have always been a part of WRC – they add interest to events; instead of the usual WRC domination. Remember the F2 cars on Tarmac, or Erikkson/ Radstrom in Sweden?
