Playing racing games, even with high end rigs is limiting. So using a camera position that gives you a better POV and awareness helps players negate playing a games limitations.
This.
As I said, good simracing titles go hard on features and development to ameliorate those limitations in other ways, making cockpit cam actually really nice to go with. Even if we had the option to go with bumper cam or T-cam on iRacing, I wouldn't - just like virtually everyone goes with cockpit cam on ACC even though the sim has other cameras enabled for gameplay.
F1 is not on the same level though.
Again, it is disappointing that it is like it is. Short races, ghosting, tv pod. But that's the offering, a simcade. I don't think it's reasonable to treat it like anything but a simcade, and expect players - even esport ones - to use like a sim.
That's on EA, not the players. And also on us for not adjusting expectations.
