CVT is a variator. It doesn't have gears at all. You only need to engage it when start moving. It can variate any gear ratio in it's range this is like TC + auto transmission. TC is smoothing auto gear operation.

If you lock TC right away and start shifting auto transmission will operate very rough, overloading engine and transmission itself.
