Loic came off as spoiled, entitled, and afraid of the crop of new riders starting to hit WC races. He sounds like he wants to limit the talent pool because it makes it easier for him to stay on top. He already got beat by 2 first year elite riders and multiple riders with number plates greater than 30. He wants to limit that in the future. I do think he and a lot of the riders / team managers are towing the line of "ESO wants the sport to succeed" because of fear of more problems.
