Like all businesses US car dealers stock what sells. I had a '80 Camaro 
with a manual but when I traded it for a '82 Firebird it had an AT. The 
reason was the '82s were three door hatchbacks. They are another dog in 
the US market. I bought the 2018 Yaris because it was the last of the (US) 
3 door hatches. Even that year the 5 doors were rebranded Mazda 2s. I'm 
jealous because there is a GR Yaris that is a little screamer and it isn't 
available in the US. Toyota figured since the standard 3-doors never sold 
in the US they wouldn't even bother.
