The answer is because some people either can't, or don't bother to read how to properly setup a automatic choke.
Then when their efforts fail, they resort to what they know works without any special tools or instructions, a manual choke. Someone with a hammer, screwdriver and a pair of pliers can convert a carb to a manual choke.
The same people that said in 1980 when manufactures were putting electronic engine management on cars, "I'll just work on the old cars". They either have retired when the old cars became few and far between, or moved onto another profession that only requires you to own a hammer, and to be close to the objective. Maybe driving in tent stakes would suit them?
