Others may disagree but I think I've raced enough to feel qualified to say that racing on wet tracks on road tyres does not feel as "good" (good=safe and fun in my book) as racing on wet tracks on proper wet tyres.

Precisely. Perhaps not being able to use wets is discouraging new entrants? We've run single control tyres now for 7 years, maybe it's time for the series to evolve in that direction?
