They picked the C4S because it won this years BEST DRIVER'S CAR comparo.
Ferrari didnt supply a car for that and neither did Chevy, so basically MT said, heres the winner vs the F12 and Vette, lets see what would have happened has Ferrari and Chevy sent cars. And to no surprise they still both lost. The 991 C2S also would have won since it is a little bit sharper than a C4S but either way Porsche is the winner.

I do think in this case, money is a determining factor. But the fact that an AWD non GT 911 is a better driving car than a 500K Ferrari says a lot about the 991 platform.

There is not a single example where the AWD version of a RWD car, both otherwise equivalent, performs better in any metric.

Again, the C4S won best drivers car so they wanted to see how the F12 and Vette would have faired if they were available at the time.
And yes, RWD is always going to be more rewarding than AWD, except in this case AWD was better than the RWD cars it faced in best drivers car and this comparo.
