The manufacturers aren't forcing people into automatic transmissions.
The market is walking away from them, making them low volume and unprofitable. The manufacturers give the buying public what they ask for.
A lot of it has to do with the fact that automatics are night and day better than they were even 20 years ago. Every new generation of automatic gives people fewer and fewer reasons to want a manual.
Yes, there will always be die hard manual transmission fans. But that group gets smaller every year.
