It is much easier for a volume manufacturer to build a boat that rates 104 than it is to build a F16. So therefore it is more likley. (a more attractive option)
And the big boys are not afraid of an arms race in the F104 in the way you say they are in the F16 class ?
Put some lead on an A-cat and voila it is a F104 !
But I also would like you to ask the following and make use of your expertise when it comes down to matters related to big builders. This is a serious question as I really like to know this.
In all honesty, how likely do you feel it is that the big builders will abbandon their FX-one and Inter-17 one-design classes in favour or building and marketing a purpose build F104 ? Including updating it continiously to keep it competitive in this one-rule F104 class ?
Second question : How likely is it that both (Nacra and Hobie) will get into the F104 together under the above conditions.
