As above.
If you don't change down manually, then the software will do it itself, it has to.
Clearly the way we use the auto makes a difference, if the stick is in M/S position and we are on the paddles, then the change point/rpm is lower for down changes (as low as it can go) compared to being in full auto where the revs will typically be a bit higher for down changes.
It has been like this from the first 5-speed steptronic days, so nothing wrong in gearbox performance.
BTW, what sort of revs are you talking of? My car will typically drop to ~1,000rpm for the forced down changes, which is no problem whatsoever.
