It's not something they deliberately engineered to behave like that, more collateral degradation. At least in a sporty set-up.
On the other hand, for a none sportive car, the excessive assistance and total lack of feel is often interpreted as "luxury".

Well Porsche, Alfa Romeo, and GM's performance division have figured out how to make EPS quite respectable. BMW always had the best steering in the industry, the only logical explanation [and the one that BMW opens admits to] is that they don't want their steering to be very stiff or feel-some any longer. They can do it if they want to, as I hear the CS models steer wonderfully.
