It's 2020, it's about time the suspension has some electronic adjustability, like my 1999 Acura Tein Super Streets.

The same way the fancy 100% locking e-diff makes M cars feels so more capable. I welcome and fully embrace the technology that can manipulate the damping, on demand but that doesn't mean one cannot get by without the technology.
No one is arguing that Adaptive Suspension is not beneficial.

But at the same time, very few M2 owners have complained about the stock suspension.

I've driven M4's with Adaptive Suspension and without. There's a noticeable difference but we're not talking about Rolls Royce Air suspension.

It's becoming standard because that's how the car industry tends to innovate. Flagship model features of five years ago now become standard on new cars. As a car company in a very competitive market, you always have to offer 'more', even if the end result isn't much of an upgrade.
