They use electric door openers because of the frameless windows. So when you open the door, it slides the window down by a couple of centimeters in order to clear the window seal cleanly.
As to why this requires a fully electric door opening mechanism, I don't really know. AFAIK, BMWs had mechanical door mechanisms in their frameless doors 20 years ago that did the exact same window sliding.
