I think its only because their analysts figured out that there would be fewer in-warranty engine issues on a manual shift with a single turbo engine than with a manual shift on high powered naturally aspirated engine, and more wiggle room due to the lower cost (ultimately) of leaving NA engines. Higher mpgs is the cherry on top. I'm sure in the end the overwhelming majority of 911, and 981 will be PDK turbos and now they can say "oh you want old school in your top of the line 911? We have that too... so quit whinging!!".
What I find most interesting is that the GT4 was not an option. It was manual only.
They must fear how fast it would be with PDK. But those NA-engine cars will be a thing of the past soon.
