Easy, it's just more fun where it counts for most of us.

I've driven multiple M cars on tracks, if I wanted a fun track car it would be an M2. Maybe an M3 if it were stripped down, but the M3 is already sort of a compromise between fun and practical. For spirited driving on public roads you really can't beat the feel of an electric powertrain. It's an opinion and as such it can be debated all day but there are plenty of people who feel this way, might as well acknowledge it even if you disagree.

The i4 M50 feels a lot like an M3, in that you can feel the weight a bit but you're not going to be doing any extreme tire squealing maneuvers in day to day driving, you're just looking for that "punch" and responsive handling.
