Not to mention manual transmissions are quite archaic. Like crank starters that the cars from the early 20th century used to have. "More involving"? I guess, but I'd rather have a key or a push button start.
Same goes for manuals transmissions. Clutch pedal manuals are too cumbersome. I don't need to get 3 out of my 4 extremities involved just to feel satisfied with a gear shift. I don't need for my body to look like I'm convulsing (or having a seizure) just to feel involved with the driving. The closer we can get to F1 type gear shifts the better IMO.
