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
Yeah that’s why I noted that on an MT it will cover around 95% of the ACC range of actual use
