Any "power assisted steering" is technically artificial, and yes that includes hydraulic assist as well.

So really there is nothing "natural" about how much effort is needed to turn the steering wheel in a vehicle with "power" steering.

There is a distinction and difference between power steering assistance level vs what is commonly known as "steering feel".

Just like other vehicle manufacturers, BMW decides how they want their steering assistance levels to feel. If BMW "fakes" the assist level, then so does Porsche, Audi, Jaguar, Ferrari, Mclaren, Hyundai, and any vehicle manufacturer who employs a power assisted steering system.
