Probably for a couple reasons but this one comes to mind first:

The manual transmission is more durable.


Other reasons may have included the automatic transmission's perceived better performance due to converter fluid coupling slippage and torque multiplication vs. the manual that really doesn't even start to get out of it's own way until 1800 RPM.
