The point is, it actually opens up MORE options. If you need a high powered four door car, then you can now pick between cars like the RS4, Giulia QV, C63/s. Even for the lower trimmed cars, you can start looking at Jaguar XE or Volvo S60 or Lexus IS instead of a regular 3 series. A lot of people "have" to buy a sedan. If the manual is no longer an option, then they can open up to a much bigger market of cars, or just buy a used car.
For those lucky enough to be able to get a car like a 718, 911, Z06, ZL1, or GT350, that's awesome. In the world of sport coupes, there are a ton a of manual transmission options. GOOD options too. If the M4 drops the manual, then you'll see a LOT of defectors. That's why it makes sense that they might just offer both the M3 and M4 in a manual. Although, it still doesn't make sense why they'd offer the M3/M4 in a manual but not the 3/4 series. They're similar enough that it'd be a trivial thing.
