So to summarize they already have a 10 speed AT that they poured a pile of money into developing it.
Plus they have Caddy owners who demand a plush ride and minimal NVH.
Putting a DCT in the Camaro alone would be expensive and would never get past the bean counters.

I agree but there's always room for improvement. I don't like the idea of accepting the status quo to simply make GM's life easier and help their bottom line, and this is coming from a shareholder. If the consumer doesn't provide feedback how will they understand our wants/needs and change or improve their products accordingly?
Plus, VAG has refined DCT tech so it can be done. And GM already has already dipped their toes-in-the-water with the tech on their Corvette product.
