jp.motorsport.com reports Hisatake Murata interview.

Murata mentioned the transient response that affects the comfort of the driver.
Toyota digitized the drivability, and seeked with drivers point of compromise between drivability and performance.
Drivers dislike lift-off (off throttle pedal) very much. In contrast, they don't feel uncomfortable with off hybrid-boost.
However, it effects performance very much.
So while observing all the disadvantages of controlling the transient response with motor/engine and the improvement of the lap time, they finally decided the figures with agreement of drivers.
