At least with Porsche (with my 991.2 GTS for sure) and I can swap modes to eliminate the burbles.

Sport mode creates the artificial farts while Sport Plus is all LeMans shreiks... I like the option.

I would guess here with the F90's that because the cabin is so insulated, just hearing any resemblance of an exhaust is something wanted. I know I was ok with my FE test drive and the M Sport but the non Sport was too tame.
M5 exhaust is underwhelming to say the least; this was true in the F10 M5 as well although the cabin was a little less insulated IMO.

I've only spent limited time behind the wheel of the F90 M5 and the cabin is exceptionally well insulated so really only ASD coming through.

Waiting on my M5 Comp to make a determination as to what to do with the exhaust; Sport Exhaust sounds OK from I've seen in a couple of videos.

Knowing myself, will more than likely seek out something with a bit more growl.
