That's only because they don't want the throttle to close, for better emissions. Some manufacturers actually implement rev matching on their manual models to facilitate smooth shifts. The rev-match feature on the Nissan Z should theoretically make it possible to shift on the fly without clutching or blipping the throttle yourself.

That said, I've done it on E-throttle cars. It's just a bit slower on some of the worse throttle-hangers. And it's easy to do it going down through the gears with a little heel-toe when slowing down...
