No, it was banned because it was too good.https://www.rstreet.org/2014/07/15/the-twis...ale-of-the-cvt/

By 1993, a number of teams were testing CVTs in their cars under race conditions. Unsurprisingly, because the engines were not wasting time or power revving up and down the unprofitable parts of their power-curves, the cars were fast…several seconds a lap faster than traditional transmissions.
The CVT cars were arguably too fast. Not because the cars or the drivers could not sustain the pace, but because they were able to seriously upset the competition’s ability to compete without them. For this reason, to preserve competitive balance, Formula 1’s governing body decided to ban the use of CVTs.

Correct. Ativa my daughter car, me recently bought HRV excellent seamless CVT but worried I tekan for acceleration quite often so need to explore what lordgamer said about cooling. (And maybe highend lubricant?)
Don't compare Subaru or even HRV's CVT to Ativa.Ativa's D-CVT only rated to 150Nm of torque. The car in stock form already making 140Nm from the crank, that's only 10Nm of margin. Compare this to even Proton's 1.6 CVT which is rated 180Nm over the engine's output 150Nm.
So can Ativa's D-CVT last long especially against rough usage? only time will tell.
