Audi is leaving LMP1 for multiple reasons, but the two most significant factors are:
VAG are facing
massive fines related to dieselgate, which is squeezing budgets.
VAG already has a winner in LMP1 with Porsche, so the Audi effort is somewhat redundant.
I do agree that GTE is more practical, but manufacturers still like to chase the overall win, and that's only possible in LMP1.
