Why do Taxi drivers in the UK and Europe drive cars with predominantly manual gearboxes

If I was driving 8-10 hours per day I’d want an auto… I know manuals used to be cheaper and are still a little cheaper, but I’d have thought the reduced effort would be appealing.

I drove an automatic in Crete years ago and went up the mountains. Coming back down the brakes were overheating because of all the hills and if I had a manual I could have engine breaked and that wouldn’t have happened
