With all due respect, you have simply made this up and are quite ignorant of Di2.
Di2 can shift 11 gears by pressing one button and never needs to be programmed if one doesn't want to.
I've had it 18 months and charged it for the third time last week. Nothing else needs to be done to the system ever. It is completely maintenance free.
Enjoy whatever you want but please stop talking about things you know nothing about.
