BOP or some similar system is the only way you can have competitive multi marque racing. Every successful professional non-spec racing series uses some rules set to balance performance between manufacturers. Without it one make of car dominates and everyone switches to it while spectators and manufacturers leave the series in droves. More or less equalizing the car puts some of the focus on driver ability. It also makes for a good show. That keeps people interested which makes for happy sponsors and manufacturers.
Just consider it a necessary evil and enjoy the show where a Bentley can compete with a Porsche 911 GT3R which can compete with a Ferrari 458 which can compete with a McLaren 12C which can compete with BMWZ4 which can compete with a Corvette C7 etc. etc.
