So given that the hardware is the same (as stated in some other articles), why would BMW not allow/ enable this for the 8 series via the remote software upgrade, while on other models yes?

Not crystal clear, I agree but I interpret it as saying that the 8-series IS compatible in general but is NOT subject to the July 2020 or later build date. That is, we should get it via the promised software update channel (not holding my breath on that one, though).
