With the price of the total setup these cars have they don't have to 'go cheap' and use a PFC (excapt for Andy F, but he uses 2! & 2 dawes'es )
And I honestly think they have filters on as soon as the cameras are gone.

PFC can delete the Airflow meter if you use a MafSim.

As above, most of the higher powered cars are using a Speed/Density system, which does not need an Airflow meter to derive load - It uses a MAP sensor.
