The other thing I also think about in these cases is that unlike an automatic transmission car, the regenerative breaking slows the car the same as light break application, so in regular driving you don't use it as much. Having driven a many different cars, I suspect without as much experience with manual transmissions or regenerative brakes, it is much more likely for a driver to panic stomp the gas.
