Well it's like any other learned skill, there has to be a reason or desire to learn. It is no longer a "necessary" skill, so it is left to the rank of the enthusiast.
At this point your "standard" vehicle no longer even has an option for a MT, so most folks have no reason to bother.
My sons (29, 25, and 21) have ridden in cars with manual transmissions, and learned to drive one, but they have never been in a car with manual windows or door locks to my knowledge. I'm not sure they would know what to do if faced with one, but I'm sure they could figure it out.
