I actually find automatics really really annoying.
Maybe it's a control thing, or just the great feeling I get from dropping down from sixth to fifth and leaving the bmw on my tail for dust

Luxury cars have an international market, which means selling to the US.
If they were manual, then that would reduce the american market, so it makes more business sense to have auto as default.
