So, why wouldn't BMW Motorrad adopt the solution that they have developed for their cars? To me, it seems like the Motorrad group is out of step... which isn't so surprising to many of us here.
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus were the first water-resistant iPhones. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus were the first iPhones rated as IP67, which means the phones are resistant to splashe,s and can be submerged in just over three feet of fresh water for up to 30 minutes without damage.Dec 27, 2019
One significant reason might be that most Apple and Android phones are not water proof. Not an issue in most cars. A very big issue to a motorcyclist.
My 2018 Chevy (purchased in 2017) has Android Auto and I like the in dash GPS better.The market has spoken, and it wants Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Toyota caved, and has started Apple integration with some models starting in 2019. Porsche has been designing their cars to enable both Apple and Android for about 3 years,
BMW cars have CarPlay now.

I too don't take calls or receive notifications from the phone while riding. I do have the phone Bluetooth to the GPS so it can receive weather. I like being able to see radar, that feature has helped me on many occasion avoid a bad storm. At this point I'm staying a GPS guy, this technology has need for lots more improvement. I also wonder what Garmin will come out with next.
