The X5 has been around a lot longer than the X7. However, the 2019 model year brought a new design for the X5 and a brand new vehicle for the X7.
Maybe the X7 was BMW's way of changing several things due to the size difference which also may have addressed some of the issues they were having with the X5. For example, maybe the curvature on the X5 windshield/windscreen is different from the X7 which might be causing the chatter of the wiper blade.
However, I'm not sure what the technical differences are between the X5 and X7 steering wheel, and steering column. I do know the steering wheels are different between the two but I doubt that would have anything to do with grinding and failure issues that seem to be more prevalent in the X5.
