Because while I am no fan of DCTs for daily driving due to lack of a convenient neutral and the stupidity of manumatic shifting, the thing they do well is shift far faster than a human can. If you buy such a high-performing car, you are likely interested in performance at all costs. For that car and it's application, the dct likely delivers best.
For a regular daily driver, MT all the way personally.
There are plenty of manuals out there, Vettes, Caddy CTSV, many of the SVT and RTS8'S. As for a manual daily driver, Even though your sig. Shows NJ, I can only guess you don't commute in heavy traffic daily. I did it with a truck for years, then I changed jobs and forgot... I drove a manual for about a year commuting and you bet I got rid of that quick.
