First I think it’s been observed that the footwell in the C8 isn’t even wide enough for a clutch pedal. If a manual were coming there would already be room.
Second Corvettes used to be 50/50 manuals to automatics when I worked on the C5/C6. Last year it was 15% manuals.
Same thing is happening in heavy tucks. The days of the double clutching 18 speed are quickly disappearing, being replaced by automated manuals and automatics. One, electronically managing shifting improves FE and second with the huge driver shortage they are easier to drive.
