Gear indicator behavior on 7MT

Would anyone know why the gear indicator on a manual car behaves differently from car to car, depending on model year or possibly options or software revision ? 

 

Mine only displays the selected gear *AFTER* I release the clutch pedal (useless)

Yet many report their car indicated the selected gear as soon as the lever is engaged, and before the clutch pedal is released (useful). 

Mostly this would be useful when downshifting from 7th and ensuring you're not accidentally grabbing 3rd of 4th instead of 5-6.

Responses are split 50-50, I'd love to know if this is a hack or software update, or tied to sports chrono (possibility)? I have sports mode on my car but not chrono...  So far this seems to be the only correlation but it is not a logical one, it's just a gear indicator...
