Hey, there's a reason why I don't play call of duty. They don't cater to my taste. That's fine. There are lots of other similar games that do. I don't ask CoD to be more like Battlefield, because if I want Battlefield, then I'll play Battlefield. Acti has no reason to cater to me when their game is the best selling in the genre, much like GT is the best selling of its genre.
Less cars but all equally developed is the forza approach. GT fans like GT because it has so many cars. It has the first car I drove. It has my friend's cars, it has the cars they want to buy, and it has the cars they see about in commercials. Much like the gameplay vs graphics debate, sometimes it's ok to have less detail if the tradeoff is valuable to the player.
The consumer has dictated throughout the history of GT (yes, this premium vs standard has been around since the first game, like how much you can tweak, what parts you can buy, etc) that this is what they want. This is their better experience, and this "news" is essentially PD saying "hey guys, we didn't have time to make ALL the cars premium, but we're working on it. We managed to upgrade a huge amount of them, and we're working on making them all premium".
EDIT: Oh and by the way, if you don't want to see inferior cars in races, just do the higher tier races. There are car classes for every course. If you want to race against only premium cars, there is nothing stopping you from only doing those, and you'll only see premium cars there, and it's all the same courses.
