Because everyone have different quirk and wants/needs from the car. You'll be surprised a lot of ppl are interesting in buying this car. I know one dealership already have over 50 ppl on the list to buy new Supra.
Toyota isn't planning to mass produce this car to begin w. It'll be very small production per year.
FYI A80 Supra or US call it MkIV Supra is GT car more than sports car. So GT part haven't changed one single bit.
To add, some sports car enthusiasts still admire and wanting to own GT-R (R35) and new NSX, even though it only comes AT. Porsche did AT only for 911 few yrs back, but I feel like that was strategic planning on their marketing side. To add to AT list, look at Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren and other hyper cars brands in there.
So to answer your question, Supra will sell perfectly fine.

The 86/BRZ buyer USUALLY falls into two categories. The first is a young individual who is looking to purchase their first new RWD sports car. Once they have the car for awhile, they realize that it is not fast enough to impress their friends and/or win stop light drag races and they end up trading it in for another car around its price range (WRX, Muscle Car, GTI, etc) . The others are enthusiast who appreciate the handling, low center of gravity, low curb weight, throttle response and NA engine where you have to work for your power. They also realize that there are not many vehicles at that price point that offers these things besides the Miata.
