It works on start up and also during long idling when the O2 sensor cools down and the engine goes out of closed loop. IMO, it's an emissions control device and should be working and I hope others feel the same way. I know people who have vented the PCV gases into the air on their cars (non-Porsche). I just like breathing clean air which is why I support getting stuff like that fixed.

Sorry, I don't have a definitive answer to your "why" question.
