While I love my SRM and use it almost 100% of the time, it's surely not a necessity. But then neither are those other technologies mentioned above. I suppose one could argue that the 6 speed manual is going out of favor rather quickly these days, and investing more money in it is a waste of resources. However, plenty of purists still buy their supercars with manual transmissions. I can easily see some 6MT Audi R8 owner paying an additional $3,500 for a 'shift-matching' option in their Technology Package.
So, why do you think Nissan is still the sole company with an SRM manual?

OP, you said it, " it's surely not a necessity", then why waste money putting it in the car, rather put a dual clutch instead.. 
also, learn how to master the heel-toe technique, you'll find the SRM is useless and heel-toe is MUCH MORE FUN..!!!
