But seriously, doesn't matter what transmission you own, there are going to be people who have it for a different reason.

Some buy a MT for street cred, they will engage the clutch every time they push the brake pedal down, they won't rev match anything unless its by accident. They will make fun of their friends who auto cross in their automatic.
Some DCT owners will be scared the first time they kickdown. They might freak out if they accidentally go into manual mode and it holds a gear into high revs. They will still poke fun at slow 0-60 times for the MT.
And some turbo vert owners don't take the engine up high enough to hear it.
There are always going to be A->B drivers (you've heard it, "My car is the thing that gets me from point A to point B"), and there are always going to be drivers who take the road less traveled just because it has more turns
