I agree, but sadly the general car buying public does not see it the same. The faster the car, the better, even if they'll never use the speed. Just look at all of the Tesla vs Supercar drag race and the comments made by the fanboys. Today's set of buyers seem to equate fun to the fastest 0-60, not steering feel, handling, weight balance, etc or other items that you or I would.
I think it'll be more relevant on the i4 than on this MPV.
