To make room for the new center console.

Adjusted how? It does exactly what it is supposed to do. Act as a parking brake on steep hills until you give the car gas, release the clutch and then it disengages...

What would you like it to do?

BTW, I like the hill hold. This feature has been on every new car with manual I've bought since 2008 on, and I think Porsche's interpretation of it is great. I honestly believe that if you let it do what it's designed to do and not fight it, it works well.
I think most people who don't like it simply try to "over-ride" it and then stall by trying to take off before it releases. I have a spot on my morning commute where it engages every morning. I simply let off the break, move my foot over to the gas, and slowly release the clutch pedal. Timing is perfect and I pull smoothly away.
You may all return now to discussion about the manual transmission in general.

It holds for a long time. Longer than most applications. I slowly remove foot from brake, slowly give gas and let out the clutch and it's still holding the car back.
Adjusted by Durametric or PIWIS? I'm less familiar with the Porsche diagnostic tools. Someone mentioned the duration of the hold can be changed. You might even be able to turn it off.

You'll get used to the hill assist, I promise. I've gotten used to it, and I found it awkward at first too. Stalled a couple of times but the beauty is the car starts right back up when you press on the clutch pedal and sounds great in doing so.
