Why I couldn't say ... perhaps it was less expensive circuitry for
the flash to have only two modes instead of three, and they were
looking to save pennies in production (which accumulate to dollars at
retail price).
Does the DS also do full flash output with A/F/FA lens with its
diaphragm off the A setting?
Yes. Basically, in any circumstance when the lens fitted does not
provide the A lens electronic coupling, the DS flash unit switched to
full power, non-metered output.
