When backing up, the sensors and camera act as you might expect. All the sensors are active and the camera shows the rear view and the potential vehicle path based upon how you are moving the steering wheel.

When moving forward and manually activating the parking assist, the parking sensors are activated all around and the rear camera is also activated showing your vehicle path as if you were backing up. This is at the least distracting at the very least when you are observing the sensor indicators for the front as you are moving forward.

What are these engineers thinking?
I never had a problem with this, and that is exactly how it worked in my 2012 A7

Yeah, I'm not sure how this is destracting. The rear view camera shows what's behind your car and the lines show an extension of the car's path if you were to back up. If it's distracting you, you can also toggle between just seeing the sensor indicators or the rear view by pressing the bottom left corner button. This is the view you get it you toggle away from the rear view.
