You make an interesting point. There was a definite need for the 1LE package with the 5th gen. One could argue however that the 6th gen also "fixed ALL that". Reviews thus far don't really point to handling problems associated with the platform (i.e. under-steer, pushing, etc).
From a marketing perspective the 1LE was marketed after the ZL1 was launched as an upgrade to get most of what makes the ZL1 better on the track but at a lower cost.
I can't help but wonder if the lack of an obvious need for better suspension on the 6th gen, and the ZL1 still unavailable as a "compare to", might reduce the urgency to launch a 1LE-like upgrade package before the Zxx?
