Another option is since the computer is telling the transmission where to send power, it is simply also telling the display where the power is going to. Of course the display could simply be an idiot light and just move things around to look pretty. Wouldn't be the first time a "gauge" was wired as an idiot light.The sensors that “feed” the gauge are probably the wheel speed sensors, and the gauge shows the intended output split.
Its possible the front axle torque is cut when the wheels are turned to lock to avoid winding it up.
Very few current model cars fall under what I consider to be true AWD. The benefits of automatic 4wd systems outweigh a not very flexible AWD system. This is why you don’t really see them on many cars.
