It has been suggested to me that once the upcoming G87 M2 exits near the end of this decade, that's it. This timeline makes sense since essentially all ICE vehicles will be MHEV or PHEV by that time with most of them integrating the motor into the engine/transmission, and it's not likely that there will be a business case for MT versions of this type of setup.
Sad.
