Side slip after 'turning'/yawing in slow lateral flight, is there a reason DJI software does not prevent it?

I have been meaning to ask for a while but never got round to it.
The basic physics is obvious, inertia, but DJI could, as far as I know, have opted to have the drone bank/tilt to remove the sideslip and then level out.
I say slow lateral flight because the drone is only close enough and low enough to see this in slow flights.

I have noticed the same flight behavior as you. i chalked it up to inertia as well. I agree that it seems like they could have programmed the FC to make more precise turns but didn’t. Maybe it makes for smoother filming?

I give it a little aileron input if I want the drone to do a banking turn, kinda like when flying r/c gliders/planes.

I have noticed that they do build roll into yaw turns in the Mavic air 2
