Trim or no Trim?

I’m curious why some Crosstourers have a plastic trim piece (circled in yellow in the photo below) but my 2017 manual transmission model does not. Is this a trim piece only on DCT models? Another explanation? Why would Honda only design a trim piece to cover this area on certain bikes?
Here is what no trim piece in this area looks like on my bike:

Trim is only on dct models. A foot pedal gear change is also available, and can be fitted to dct model, and used instead of the manual switch on handle bars.

i wonder why Honda engineers spec’d a cover in that area only for the DCT bikes. Is there an especially delicate DCT component that it protects or is it covering something for aesthetic reasons on DCT bikes?
