I see it as a cash grab (especially on wealthy people at the pricey end) that neither has the skill or desire to drive a stick shift. Just market the automatic as high tech with a bunch of non-sense numbers and features to back it up.
The manual transmission will probably never go away and may eventually end up being marketed as something upscaled and high-class niche like what happened to turntables, mechanical watches, fountain pens, etc.
