Yes, because of Apple not allowing NFC in their phones, nothing to do with BMW.

So basically you need two phones using two completely divergent OSs to take full advantage of a BMW's electronic doodads.

BMW's refusal to use Android Auto is because it is susceptible to hacking, and they don't want to share their vehicle/user data with Google, which Google requires. BMW is protecting their owners privacy. Other brands aren't, so if that's paramount to you, then you don't need two phones, you're free to switch cars.
