I see some value for sure, just bmw does not currently allow for it. As of today the 440 is the only vehicle in the lineup offered with a manual and ACC, choosing one negates the other.
Steady state highway cruising makes sense, but the system will also emergency brake the car, imagine being slowed down to 20mph then the system tries to reaccelerate up to highway speed in 6th, requiring driver intervention to get back into the proper gear. at least to date bmw hasn't felt their owners are capable of solving for that....
EDIT: my evidence is all US centric, if someone has examples from other markets happy to learn
