More technologically advanced doesn't necessarily equate to better or more fun. I have more fun driving manual, and will give my money to automakers that sell me what I want. The U.S. market for MT-equipped vehicles is roughly $2billion/yr, and this number has stayed relatively constant (inflation-adjusted) for over a decade. Why would every automaker decide they don't want a piece of this mostly inelastic market? Their shareholders would kill them if they left this $ on the table.
Other people can buy and drive whatever they want, and I won't devote a second of my time worrying about their choices.

Oh c'mon. It would be fun to have the car drive itself. Then you can launch a game of GTO.
