I'd be careful projecting your own ignorance on to other people. There have been plenty of articles, videos, and interviews explaining what this game is. And I don't think gamers are as oblivious as you think they are.

Oh yes, a good number of gamers aren't sure how Sony is planning to proceed with the franchise, and you can't really blame them because Sony is being vague and confusing about it.

"We're not announcing Gran Turismo 7 at this stage"
- Jim Ryan. Late 2015

"Thinking about it now, yeah, we could have called it Gran Turismo 7. But it's got so many features, we wanted it to be different."
- Kazunori. 2016

“Gran Turismo 7 is not currently planned. All our studios are focused on Gran Turismo Sport and, once it is out, the DLC that follows afterwards.”
- Kazunori. Last August.

There you have it.

If GT Sport fails to meet the sales target, then it's pretty obvious Sony would revert to a more traditional GT7 sooner than later. Feel free to interpret it your own way but it's not "ignorant" to consider it a spinoff until Sony proves otherwise. I doubt many of those articles and interviews you're referring to (barring that passing statement that I missed) explains that it's a GT7 under a different badge.

I’d rather assume they’d just update the game with a single player career mode. I can see that happen over time anyway. Shouldn’t be that hard to implement if the rest of the game is already complete.
