well, talking about the diversity in ATS and ETS2 and constantly comparing them all times, in fact, the gap is minimal.
in ETS2 we have 26 states and 165 different companies represented. or an average of 6.3 dif companies per state.in scale 1:19.
in ATS_ we have 11 states and 56 different companies represented. or an average of 5.1 dif companies per state. in scale 1:20.
maybe that's why it's not so critical for me, and when I playing both games, I don't notice the difference and some kind of gap between them in terms of diversity of different companies.

@AlexxxF1 Those number aren't so close imo. ETS2 was started with UK and German Simulator so they came with companies already. I'm really comparing numbers of companies per dlc once ATS released its first paid dlc which was NM. I think that was the same year Italy released which was 2017. Every dlc from that point on is when I noticed the flood of companies for ETS2 dlc's. So doing the math from Italy, Baltics, Black Sea, Iberia, the avg company is much much higher than 6.7 when comparing on an equal playing field for maps released for both games. On average is was well over 15 iirc starting in 2017.
From my point of view, these figures are close, even if count by DLC.
In ETS2, for each DLC not only more new companies comes than in ATS. but also much more new cities in each DLC. or not ?
.
And that means much more free space. and which must necessarily be filled with diversity at least minimally.
And the main disadvantage of ETS2 compared to ATS - natural diversity, I think SCS was just trying to compensate somehow it.
diversify at least by adding more different companies in ETS2.
or at least try to. to catch ATS, if not by the diversity of nature, then at least by the diversity of companies. So.
Starting 2017, in ATS we got not so big, but full 8 DLC and 103 different cities. an average of 13 cities per DLС.
Starting 2017, in ETS2 we got so big, but only 4 DLC and 138 different cities. an average of 35 cities per DLС.
that's why - "comparing numbers of companies per dlc" and "On average is was well over 15 iirc starting in 2017" - Yes it is.
it would be surprising if it were different. from each DLС in ETS2 we get 22 more new cities than in each ATS DLС. and only 15 iirc more.

I decided to do some more calculations. and even take into account the scale somehow
(but it doesn't really affect) .
_ if starting 2017 _.
How many new companies per new city..
To the current time,
the difference between ETS2 and ATS is already just only 2 times.
( starting 2017, in ETS2 100 new companies with 138 new cities in 1:19 scale - 100 / 138 = 0,72 x 19 = 13,6 ).
( starting 2017, in ATS 34 new companies with 103 new cities in 1:20 scale - 34 / 103 = 0,33 x 20 = 6,6 ).
_ if all the time _.
How many different companies per city. .
At the current time,
the difference between ETS2 and ATS is already just only 1,5 times.
( in ETS2 165 companies with 282 cities in 1:19 scale - 165 / 282 = 0,58 x 19 = 11 ).
( in ATS 56 companies with 151 cities in 1:20 scale - 56 / 151 = 0,37 x 20 = 7,4 ).
_ if all the time _.
How many different companies per different states .
At the current time,
the difference between ETS2 and ATS is already just only 1,17 times.
( in ETS2 165 companies in 26 different states in 1:19 scale - 165 / 26 = 6,3 x 19 = 119,7 ).
( in ATS 56 companies in 11 different states in 1:20 scale - 56 / 11 = 5,1 x 20 = 102 ).
As we see, all difference between ETS2 and ATS - when - companies per city just only 1,5 times and companies per states just only 1,17 times - ETS2 and ATS are almost equal.
SCS failed to diversify ETS2 much compared to ATS.
When in ATS -so great diversity in nature - in ETS2 there was not even so much compensated by diversity in new companies.
The only thing where ETS2 is ahead of ATS so far is in the number and variety of cities. 282 vs 151.
but even here the difference is not much. less than 2 times. only 1,87.
(or 1,77 if somehow try to take into account dif scale too).
