Some do. It hasn't turned out to be one of ZF's better efforts, but not as bad as the 4HP that would blow clutches during emissions testing.
GM and Ford are co-developing a 10-speed for RWD and truck applications. Ford has an 11-speed design of their own as well, the "Tufnel."
Subjectively, some CVTs are tuned to feel like conventional automatics, with discrete gearing.
