I mean is it really that hard for Ferrari, etc to put a manual in there?! Such bullshit.
I don't think it would be difficult but this where Ferrari and Porsche buyers start to show differences and also new vs used buyers.

Second hand buyers are different. They aren't looking for newest and best, they are looking to actually use the vehicle.

Also, Ferrari's last manual models were selling in the double digits IIRC. No one really wanted them, so Ferrari just stopped. Easier for them as they don't have to certify another drivetrain for emissions or design cars around two transmissions. Porsche drivers on the other hand, still buy new manual models in significant amounts and let the manufacturer know through money and communication.
