Cause people are idiots and think their car is broken if it doesn’t shift. So auto manufacturers have responded by inserting fake shifts to reduce the complaints from uninformed buyers, reducing efficency and defeating the entire purpose of a CVT! They even put paddle shifters on the things!
To be honest CVT is a really bad design. The belt is always an issue. Now the e-CVT are amazing, they use the electric motor of the hybrid system and a planetary gear system to change the ratio between the gas engine and the wheels.
