I think zee German luxury brands are tired of spending great amounts of Euros on building powerful engines that will also be reliable while meeting the now much higher expectation by the public of greater fuel performance. The easiest way for them to check all those boxes is to get off naturally aspirated engines, and make all of them more docile in every day driving. Those who want a car that drives as sporty as it looks are a shrinking minority. Those who insist on NA, manual transmissions, short wheel base, etc. are becoming a blip on the radar.

SGT Brad, the rule is when you buy your wife unit a Merc she can not yell at you until the first oil change.
