Primarily cost + manufacturing efficiencies, however, ZF 8AT is practically as fast, lighter, handles more power, and is smoother than a typical DCT. Seriously its a fantastic transmission. Realistically, the only people who truly appreciate DCTs are enthusiasts and BMW (or any other mainstream manufacturer except Porsche) seemingly DGAF about that anymore - and why should they, we don't drive their top line. DCT in mainstream cars just doesn't fit the current consumer market. I will personally always love my DCT and think they'll always have a place in motorsport, but really only in track focused consumer cars (maybe special edition cars like a GTS trim) and maybe racecars as a more durable, less consumable intensive dogbox alternative.
