I had a similar hunch when it comes to SRM. I'm almost certain it purposely adds more rev hang as an assist to people who shift slow. It seems like you can kinda trick it with weak throttle.
But even if that's actually true, that's such a weird habit to pick up. I mean without SRM, one could argue that slipping into 2nd can help (and technically that's the principle behind everyone's advice here), but I'm pretty sure most other cars wouldn't need such a measure.
