From what I gather it’s just how the box is programmed.
I believe the boxes are set up to mimic a 6 speed or 7 speed tiptronic box with pre set revs/speed when you switch to manual mode.
In theory you should never notice if you leave it in D as it will deliver an economy drive instead of a sporty one as a usual CVT should.
