Sometimes I do not have the right shoes on to rev match so I can see this feature being useful. I would consider a car a manual if the user has to press a clutch in before changing gears.
Eh, you can revmatch without heel-toeing. I did it for years before I started driving at the track and learned how to heel-toe. You just brake enough for the turn, then let off the brake entirely and blip the throttle and drop the clutch while turning.
