I never said it was a blanket statement though, just that there are a lot of people LIKE me who find getting the gear selection right to take a turn optimally, or choose the right shift points to get optimal acceleration for that cars gear ratio to be rewarding and engaging. There is a challenge to that which gives immediate feedback and its fun.
And im glad thats what you like, its awesome when you find what you like rewarding from driving! Just know almost all these shift features are toggles due to them being software based. I.e you can get a ioniq 5n as a drivers car and if you dont prefer dealing with shift points or the sounds you never have to turn that mode on, it will be easy to drive with linear acceleration and give you the engagement you enjoy from driving, for those of us who find timing our shifts and gear selection to get those balanced and fun turns with more room for error we can enable the shift mode and enjoy our preference.
You see having these modes does not detract from your enjoyment at all and just allows others to enjoy themselves as well.
