it just sets the responsiveness of how fast the MF mode kicks in from DMF. I am wondering why thats only avail for the two kit zooms

Nope, it always kicks in exactly the same.  It is how much turn of the focus ring produces how much of a change in focus once DMF has kicked in, and the difference between low and high is about 2x.  That is, it seems to me that with the setting on low the 18-55 has a focus throw of about 90 degrees, and of about 45 degrees when set to high.  This is for a given speed of rotation though, as I think the focus may also respond with acceleration (that is, I think it changes more for the same number of degrees if it is turned more quickly).   I haven't tested that last bit carefully though, so I'm not fully sure yet.
