BMW is still the champ of dynamic capability, it’s the feeling that it elicits where they fall behind someone like Cadillac (Blackwing) or Porsche.

I agree to a point. Modern BMWs definitely have less steering feedback and there is greater noise cancellation.
That said, there isn't much you can do to electric steering racks. I run my tires at a lower pressure (2.2 bar front, and 2.0 rear) which definitely helps with the steering (and handling), but I am not sure what else one could do other than stiffen various bushings.
I've not driven a modern car with an electric rack that feels all that connected.
