If I have the choice of an MT or DCT, I'd probably take the DCT these days.
If I have the choice between an MT and a regular auto box I'll take the MT every time.
I don't really care whether the clutch is operated with my hands or my feet, so long as the gear shifts are initiated by me at a time of my choosing.
So, yes, I agree that this sorry state of affairs is partly the market demands, but partly the offered choices. An M car deserves a driver-focussed transmission that sets it apart it from its competitors. It doesn't need a bunch of stick-on overpriced carbon fiber parts and under-floor neon lighting.
