F1 is an expensive arena to play in . If the rules say you belly up to the bar with 200 million dollars , and you have the 200 million to spend along with a sound business model then let them in . The elite attitude of " we don't need them " is BS .
Additional teams bring the opportunity for more drivers/engineers/team support members this can't be a bad thing . Now if the sport is all about money vs racing competition then I can see the attitude " it's our ball and you can't play " .
I would say you can decide when do we have enough based on safety or qty of pit stalls . Just my opinion I could be wrong .

As quoted from Magnussen...
"For all those years, our team was spread out over the world - the US, two places in Italy, one in England, so very spread out.
In terms of communication, it makes it easier when you can just go to mate's desk and have a chat.
"And of course, the cars shows that too. So it's in a good place Haas are heading in."
This is why a fragmented F1 team located in different parts of the world with different time zones will never challenge for race wins
The race ends at the track, not starts at the track
