its not that, its that it isn't necessary
a turbo motor (or big v8 like a z06 for example) doesn't need to use short gearing to get torque to the ground. they also have wider powerbands which make more torque and power at lower RPMs than something like the s65. the z06 can hit 60 mph in first gear
it is more the e9x m3 that is the anomaly as its gearing with DCT is very short.
