The MT is going out like non-digital cameras. I agree with previous posts, the MT is very engaging, fun to drive on open roads but not in traffic. The semi-automatic gearboxes that trickled down from F1 has finally been almost perfected to the point that it can replace a wet clutch automatic slushboxes too. These gearboxes shift faster than a human could and its here to stay. As for auto manufacturers to offer MT, its becoming a cost issue and it will come into play when its no longer viable to offer it when sales of MT dwindle and costs more to offer it.
