Go check one out, I think you'll be surprised.

I've been fortunate to drive quite a few, and agree with you that they are amazing (Cayman GTS still one of the better drives I've ever had, though it was on a racetrack). But I think the underlying theme here is that the driver is a bit less connected with the car, which for me is one more thing that separates a regular car (aka transportation) to a sports car, or more specifically, a Porsche.
Having said that, you're still using two hands to control the gears, and one of those hands does not need to leave the steering wheel when shifting in a turn. But that left leg, man....it's just sitting there on the dead pedal!!!
Racetrack? PDK
Daily driver? PDK
Any other time, like a Sunday drive? I'd still like to row my own.
While at some point in the future it may not make financial sense, I hope there's always a manual transmission option on the 911 and any roadster that Porsche makes.
