I get it, it makes you feel that you have the control on whatever is happening and certainly feels cool to successively heel-and-toe and rev match. But a gearbox (man or auto) has always been a mechanical band-aid for a motor system with a narrow torque band. On electric motors this isn’t necessary and adding simulated shifting is just adding a layer of complexity for no real reason.
Of course I’m speaking of theory and mechanics, people have their own idea of what’s best sometimes don’t follow logic, and that’s fine!

Well I love playing racing games like Gran Turismo 7 or Project Cars 2.
In these there would be no mechanical need to steer or just change gears as there is clearly nothing mechanical happening.
Still I get a lot of fun doing that and I’m spending more time doing that than racing on a real race track.
So, a simulated gearbox would be like adding a game on top of the EV driving experience.
