It has the same ratio between each gear, while the manual's gears get closer. I think the purpose of this is to give you more acceleration in top gears to counter drag. And of course you want 1st gear to be extra short for an easy start.

Torque converter will feel stronger at the same speed in first gear, but weaker at the same rpm since it gives you slightly more torque when you slip it. But it'll run out of steam faster.
