Yup, good take.
It's not necessary.
Supercars from regular manufacturers are basically just halo vehicles meant to increase the reputation of said manufacturer and get people into showrooms.
Instead of one true performance vehicle and a bunch of acuras, bmws lineup contains a myriad of performance cars on a bunch of different chassis. They've effectively made a sports car version of almost every car in the lineup.
Now, the same could be said for Mercedes and Audi, but the truth is, "RS" and even "AMG" don't have anywhere near the cachet as "M"
Most laypeople look at BMW as a manufacturer of exciting cars, even without them having built a super car since the 70s.
