Two reasons – Rush hour traffic, and long drives
People don’t want to have to deal with a clutch in daily bumper to bumper traffic. I’ve done it and it **sucks**. At the same time, city to city travel, or even further, is just easier to not have to worry about shifting through hills, curves, passing, etc.
Stick is fun to drive, and can be more economical, but the majority of US automobile consumer’s just want to get from A to B with minimal effort
