This is also my feeling. During launch control, it seems like the computer balances clutch slip and tire slip to maximize traction and keep the engine in the power peak (8300 RPM) in first gear, a bit like a CVT.
Doing a WOT drop clutch in a 6MT is similar to just hammering the throttle on a DCT: nice burn out, but sub optimal launch.
