I'm sure they run crazy cost-analysis models. If there is only a 3% take rate for MT (estimate) then why spend the $10M (estimate) development cost? And I'm sure any dealer would hate to be stuck with an MT X-vehicle on their showroom. Those things are tough to move in the premium segment.

Dunno, but the older tranny is probably cheaper, if they're trying to save a bit of money.
