Right now is the hottest time to join F1, especially with the rise in popularity. Audi is already in. Of course the tech will trickle down, the 2026 engine regs triple the battery output.
Porsche just has a remarkable ego and thought Red Bull needed them and they don't, that's why they told Porsche to take a hike. They're going to keep winning without Porsche. Honda has a way stronger reputation than Porsche does in Formula 1.
Btw, I say this as someone who would have loved to see Red Bull - Porsche.
