Well then it is meant to protect the entire drivetrain, CVT or not. Your statement that dbw was designed for CVT was kinda misleading, considering it was implemented in Proton cars long before CVT was even on the drawing board in Proton.
You're right. Sorry kinda misleading. I know its long there in many Plotong before our CVT implemented. Plotong was planting the idea for us to have more advance hi-tech driving experience in the future, and thats the only reason why DbW was introduced in our car. The entire DbW existed for many reasons, such as traction control, steering control, brake by wire control(who knows Plotong will implement all those in the future). And therefore, with ONLY drive by wire, without having other WIRE feature in the car is a total waste of effort. However, thats my own opinion. Not against anybody or provoking.

i think dbw is there to cut cost...
Gas pedal to throttle body linkage cable related information available in
Wikipedia-Bowden CableCable for OLD PLOTONG GAGA 1.3/1.5 S/I Cap ayam RM25, USPD RM75
Cable for PLOTONG WIGA 1.3/1.5/1.6/1.8 fuel injection Cap ayam RM35, USPD RM80
Throttle body for Mits 4G series engine range between RM150 ~ RM400. Most of them can be REPAIR.
You snap the cable, you replace the cable. Your idling mechanism worn out, replace with throttle body service kit, RM40. Butterfly already worn off, cant close tight anymore, change throttle body RM150. If cable snap, you can't accelerate.
However, when DBW failed...
QUOTE(Wikipedia)
The condition is rare and does not occur suddenly. It can occur when the pedal mechanism becomes worn and, in certain conditions, the accelerator pedal may become harder to depress, slower to return or, in the worst case, stuck in a partially depressed position.

TOYOTA VEHICLE RECALL and there is a great chance you see a wanna stop at the junction, you release the pedal and your engine continue to rev up and finally crash into the cross junction traffic.
And no, DBW cost more than cable link throttle
QUOTE(Wikipedia)
The cost of DbW systems is often greater than conventional systems.
