Unknown. Could be a emissions strategy.
I was told they do it to limit the engine’s power while it is cold to prevent failure or excessive wear, but who knows if that’s true.

It will also upshift earlier at full throttle when cold. Instead of revving to the 7K RPM redline before it shifts, it will only go to 5K or so then shift when still cold. But at part throttle it will shift later when cold to help warm the engine up faster.
