1. Vast majority of people probably don't have the ability to really tune their coilovers
2. Coilovers setups are only perfect for one type of corner vs edc adjusts every millisecond to give perfect compression and rebound absorption based on many variables which are present on any given track.
I've been rather happy with vorshlag camber plates and re71r tires and put down as good or better times than other e92s with full suspension and Hoosier or nt01 tires.

i don't quite agree. and i'm still on my oem zcp suspension. i got into the car thinking zcp/edc would be good enough for what i wanted to do with the car. after progressing as a driver, i'm finding my previous assumptions to be wrong.
edc helps with keeping the roll to a minimum through sweepers and some transitions if the track surface is smooth. over imperfections on the track surface, rumble strips, and certain transitions, edc is far from superior to a properly setup coilover. the valving just isn't there and edc doesn't help this at all. i've been running ecd on comfort since i found i was reaching the limit with the edc on certain parts of certain tracks. firmer is better, right? wrong. the car was bouncy, and the tires were skipping over track imperfections, causing me to lose traction. this equated to an unsettled car and a slower lap time. the valving is far from perfect in any setting.
based on your statement in the second point you made, i don't think you have a good understanding of coilovers, or an understanding of what edc actually does.
