The BMW Tech Advisers in the UK dealership I went to, appeared both unsure and not that fussed to confirm. As suggested below, it might just be loads of cars came with the hardware, but due to Covid chip shortage impacts, they removed the option to save on the steering wheel buttons as there are around 8 chips needed to Active (4 more than non-active). A little digging around, I can see the radar part in the lower front valance is a pre-build part, the wiring is already there, so plug and play, so all BMW had to do was delete the option while the chips issue remains.
