he got close to answering his own question here
No analog speedo is a crime against all kids who may peer into a parked 911. All kids want to know how fast a car goes
the reason there are more safety systems in place now, the reason there are digital gauges instead of analogue, is because kids are the new target market, they don't peer into cabins, they watch vloggers on youtube
the enthusiast is a shrinking buyer demographic. the emerging wealthy millenials, especially in asian countries, represents the new market, they buy tech, and the manufacturers sell them security and hero driveability in said safety systems. majority can't drive a manual and have no desire to do so
if you're an old bloke lamenting over old cars, buy an old car before they are taken off the road due to new gov electric car policies
car manufacturers exist to turn metal and plastic into profit, and respond to current market shifts accordingly
