The driver who understands his skills and cars limits can easily drive his car safely even when DSC is turned off.
You're greatly overstating this issue, imo.

Putting it simply, BMW is building the car to always have DSC and DTC constantly in the 'on' position. It implies that they are taking shortcuts with the basic suspension because they know they have these two features as their security blanket, that they've designed the suspension system as a whole taking these two important systems into account.
So turning both of them off doesn't just change the driving dynamics, but theoretically is making the car deliberately more dangerous to drive.
