That feature is designed for long hills, not downshifting frequently to stop signs etc like you'd do with a stick.
Most automatic transmissions don't handle downshifts like manual, even the tiptronics. There's a delay, or it briefly goes neutral, or it doesn't rev-match well. Or you can't double/triple-downshift, which is worse when you have 8-12 gears. Allegedly wears them down faster too, which idk, but it certainly doesn't seem happy.
