Sure, you can use the stick for it, but then you have to take one hand off the wheel, and depending on what you do, potentially leave it there.
Once you're used to using paddle shifters, and not just to mimic the automatic, going back is an actual loss.

It's about the driver making rpm and shifting decisions vs BMW's programming.
