Wut?
Are you sure it's not just kicking into neutral to coast?

Kill fuel supply to shut it down, chuck some in whilst turned off then spark to get it started?

When drivers take their foot off the accelerator pedal at a driving speed from 55 to 160 km/h (34.2 to 99.4 mph), the car can coast for up to 40 seconds with the engine shut off completely
Pretty much, kill fuel and spark. Make not of which cylinder stopped at or near TDC and has some residual compression then chuck some fuel and spark in there to restart it
Nope, engine is completely off
Yeah it's a bit weird.Not sure how I'd feel about that. The DSG/PDK cars I've been behind the wheel of just did the kick to neutral and that felt weird enough.
it's another irritating feature just like hill start assist
Yup, you can add starter motors and power steering to that list too, just irritating for people who are not pro drivers.
Having the handbrake stick on for a second when trying to pull away is nothing like a starter motor or power steering & you know full well it isn't.
It doesn't use the handbrake, it uses the footbrake and it immediately disengages seamlessly as you pull away.
The only situation where it's ever been anything other than either useful or not noticeable is when you're trying to roll backwards.

Hill assist + electronic throttle just does not feel natural to me
No part of driving a car is natural, it's an inherently unnatural process.
My car doesn't have stop start but i've had it in hire vehicles. I turn it off every time where the car allows it, it's another irritating feature just like hill start assist that makes it feel like the handbrake is playing up.
But how do you notice? What is it that it does that's so noticeable?
