Now I cant understand why they would cut the accelerator when the brake is applied anyway, and what circumstance would this be necessary poor old lady had never experienced this in her old Micra and was just driving the new Golf the same way she always had.
I think that these aids should be a option that you can turn off and turn back on yourself, if you think you need them, I hate my Wife's car stop start, and I hate how I have to turn it off every time I get in, it should be the other way around and if I want it on I turn it on when I get in.

??? Electric brake
Vw are finicky things with even a normal pull up handbrake
I find it best to apply release hand brake in vw with the engine off because of the dsg transmission characteristics
My Puma is the same
I never use the hand brake when driving or at lights etc
Even on a hill start if you try and use the handbrake on a dsg transmission it will surprise you
