I suppose the observation "gradual decrease" is just a misinterpretation. If you see this in the scope block, Simulink interpolates between (4.9,1) and (5.0,0), but for the simulation, there is something existing between 4.9s and 5.0s.
If you like to changes the vizualization, simply select a smaller step size. But IMHO - the technical constraints shall determine the step size, not the need for good looking.
