This article should be re-titled as: "Performance cars still come with a stick". Outside of the Ford Mustang, not one vehicle mentioned has any sort of sales volume (relative to other vehicles). The Civic Type R and GR Corolla are being produced in such hilariously small numbers it's basically become a meme. There's no demand for a stick in any other segment (in the US). Otherwise, we'd see them! They cherry picked a couple examples from Porsche, because the rest of the lineup is overwhelmingly PDK sales. Cars like the Civic Type R, GR Corolla, and Supra (w/ a manual) are a double edged sword. On one hand, I think they're awesome cars, and I love that they're being offered. On the other hand, the chance to buy them is reserved to very few people. Paying 50k-55k for a Civic sounds absolutely insane to me.
