Exactly. It's a covering their asses measure; they don't take the time to test all of the coolants on the market for verification of performance. Just like they only recommend using BMW approved oil... Look how everybody follows that rule.

By law the brake fluid has to be yellow, and coolant blue. The reason being that arguably that makes identifying the cause of a leak before it gets catastrophic outcomes.

...Maybe where you live? I have blue brake fluid in my garage, and coolants of all colors: Yellow, green, blue, red... Most manufacturers must not be following that law.

Because, of course, BMW aluminum used in it's engine blocks & cooling systems is sooooo much different & special over every other friggen car with aluminum components
