I get that BMW doesn't think the infrastructure is ready but I think there's far more value in just continually working with electric than hydrogen as a very temporary stop gap.

Hydrogen IS electric. The only difference is whether one uses batteries (which need to be regularly charged) or hyrdrogen (which needs to be regularly replenished) to run the electric motor.
Hydrogen is the endgame. It is just a question of how long it will take to get there.
