I don't think there is a physical connection from steering wheel to tie rods for manual steering to be possible. Meaning these two red circled parts aren't physically connected. Which is why feeling from the tires doesn't transfer to the steering wheel.
It's the electric motor (circled in blue) that's connected to the tie rods. Steering shaft only being connected to the outer tube the tie rod/steering rack sits inside of.
It's my understanding that it's not even a power steering system, but an electric motor that accepts input from the steering wheel to move the tie rods that turn the wheels. I don't even think our cars use power steering fluid.
