I ran into the same issue as another person on this forum where I thought I'd be smart on my 2018 F87 and put anti dazzle back on, only to learn the matrix LED lights on my car didn't have the required beam forming (shutters, whatever) so it would sorta move them around and adjust intensity but still blinded the piss out of other drivers. Both my neighbor and I stopped using auto high beams all together.
The 2018+ US spec LCI icon headlight have some missing LED arrays and circuitry as well as having a different configuration of the reflector lenses to effectively enable anti-dazzle high beams. There's a whole thread on this on the F8X forum. The hardware is indeed different, but it is not about "shutters".

Shutters were required in xenon projector headlights.
