Given that it's one more way a hacker might possibly gain access to the interior of the car without physically breaking in, I'd say it's worse than nothing.
If it had longer range, so you could pop open the trunk from the doorway so someone else could get something in or out of it, it would have been useful. But the range is so short that you might as well use the button on the car and save yourself from digging for the key.

My original post was before I picked up the car, and I expected it to be the same as the VW where you can open the boot from the key fob without unlocking the whole car. I think the arrangement on the BMW is so that you cannot lock your keys in, like I nearly did once. I unlocked the boot, put the keys in my coat pocket and then put my coat in the car. Just realised in time before I closed the tailgate.
