The DIYer does it because he isn't using a metered oil fill system, and he might not have counted the empty bottles correctly. It is obviously not a BMW recommended procedure to check the dipstick, since BMW has now removed dipsticks from newer models.
I check the dipstick out of habit (if the vehicle has one). It just can't be called negligence not to do so.
