The problem is the 6 engine rule and cost cutting. GP bikes will only be able to use 6 engines for the entire season next year to save money. So they need to detune them to get the reliability and thus the show suffers, lap times slow and riders complain about 'soft' engines, etc. 1000cc means they can make the same amount of power with more reliability.
