How did I know this thread would IMMEDIATELY turn into "that's so USELESS, BMW is STUPID!!!"
The reason this exists is for people with smartphones whose manufacturers or providers don't allow NFC. Like Verizon Droids, or all iPhones. If and when Verizon allows Droids to use NFC and Apple decides to let you use NFC for anything other than Apple Pay, you won't need this. Until then, it's just a convenience thing.
