Yeah, I've driven manual transmissions my whole life and recently got a leaf, there's no reason to add all this crap to it to make it more fun. It's the most responsive car I've ever driven and I mostly drive it in "less fun mode"
I could see having a "transmission" in something like a rivian, but more as something for off-roading or carrying heavy loads to give you more control of your speed and rather than mimicking a sports car.
