EngineeringExplained had a recent episode describing the phenomenon of rev hang during shifting on modern manuals. It has to do with meeting emissions requirements.
I suspect, the CPU has a vast look-up menu for responses, based on sensor data and clock time, altering stuff like ignition timing, valve timing, lift, duration, EGR, air-fuel ratio, etc., to satisfy conditions of the original EPA certification and compliance. Even my analogue 1984 Civic would do an overrun between shifts at times.Very disconcerting at closed-throttle, attempting to engine brake on a downhill stretch.
