Not trying to escalate this, but you attached a lot of information, none of which seemed to support your assertion.
Keeping in mind that most car owners don't spend great amounts of time reading government sites (or even their owner's manual), it seems much more likely that they'd put the RECOMMENDED cold pressures on the door, where it's easily referred to.

I don't own a BMW (yet) but the manual on my 2020 RAM 1500 says:
"The proper cold tire pressure is listed on the driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's side door."
Wow!.....great discussion about tire pressures....by the way....the car will tell you what pressures are recommended for the conditions if you scroll to the screen to check your current pressures....
