You’re a bit behind on the trends my dude [emoji28]. The last mainstream SMGs were almost 20 years ago. Since then most manufacturers have switched to DCTs (PDK,DSG,etc.) in their sporty cars, and in the past ~5 years most are actually going back to conventional automatics since they have gotten so fast, there’s no real benefit to a DCT anymore. I think Porsche and VW have stuck to the PDK/DSG, but everything else has conventional autos in it again.

Man, SMGs were terrible though.
