I recently took a 135i DCT for a test drive and was already scratching my head at some of the shifts it did. Honestly, it's probably doing it to either be more efficient or placing the revs into a beefier part of the power band than I do myself when driving stick. So really it's just pointing out all my flaws as a manual driver and I hate it for that.
Seriously though, I'm very picky about when i shift, I love blipping the throttle, and if I have to pay more to always drive around with flappy paddles why not just get the free stick and pedal instead? Also, I'd miss scoffing at and looking down upon automatic drivers.
