Somewhat related:
Some dudes on other forums who have only ever driven automatics will argue that they drive "manual" because their car has flappy paddles or a "manual mode" shift gate.
Another irony: the number of automatic transmission shifters that incorporate a shift boot to make them look like manual gear selectors. There's even an aftermarket for converting/hiding PRNDL shift gates to look like manual shifters.
