This means that someone could not even have functional adaptive suspension but if they blow out or damage a shock they're going to have to replace an expensive adaptive damper instead of a regular one. Or have to replace all four dampers with regular ones and do an EDC delete, even though the system was never functional to begin with. This is beyond ridiculous.
Almost sad to see BMW go in this direction.

I think you are misunderstanding what 'adding' adaptive means.
For example in the iX3, users already have an adaptive suspension that is active, can add adaptive M suspension features.
The hardware is never functioning as passive suspension. Plus users can buy the full adaptive M setup from factory. Or just add the extra features after purchase.
