Comments made above chime with me, ie the throttle being more linear in sportier/non-DSC modes. It is as though the throttle map changes from being almost unresponsive in the first part of its travel vs in the more extreme modes to being super sensitive.
Is it throttle mapping as well as transmission adaptation plus maybe traction control is linked too?

You could be correct. There seems to be less lag with sports mode which also changes the throttle mapping. These modern day cars are basically computers on wheels that are run by wire with constant monitoring and feedback that interlinks the whole powertrain and even the brakes together.
