They didn't do it for your sake. It's CAFE standards. The manufacturers get fined for each vehicle sold that doesn't meet model year mileage standards. So they do these tricks tp improve the mileage enough to not get fined. My CTS V has the first to fourth "skip shift" for the same reason. Unless you're getting on it the thing forces the shift to fourth gear. I have it deleted though.
