Couple that with the fact that almost every measurable would dictate that DCTs are better than MT- emissions, gas mileage, shift time, they all favor the DCT and you have your answer.

Exactly what he said. The reason manuals are going away is because no one buys them! USA is one the only reason manual M cars exist. USA is one of the biggest markets for M cars but even in the USA, majority of cars ordered are not manuals.
