In ICE cars gear shifting gives extra control and power. In an EV it’s emulated by lowering power and reducing the range of control. Technically it’s all backwards.

To me it doesn’t do anything except appeal to feelings and associations drivers have developed in ICE cars.

It’s like adding hiss and crackling noises, and tape rewinding simulator to digital audio.
