Yes. I fully get that, living in Europe myself (Isn't 20% a bit too much by the way?)

The idea is that automatic transmission becomes part of a more luxurious packaged upgrade including other things. I think it was that way around two decades ago, now i'm not so sure.
My own personal example (back in 2018)
Hyundai Kona (the middle package) 22k euros with manual
Hyundai Kona (the middle package) 27k euros with automatic
Main point was that you could not get just automatic transmission on its own. You also had to get the 4WD drive version at the same time.
