I don’t have any data to back this, but my guess is that a big portion of those who prefer stick will also prefer gas vs electric.

I like driving manual and I like my EV. But I don't want a manual in my EV. Just give me an EV without all the traction control smarts. Give me access to the raw power so I can control how and when it slips.
I have a manual (2018), I'd buy an electric for the acceleration but they need to make it a $30k autocross car. Don't mind if it's a death trap, just fast and cheap.
Perhaps add one of these Ford electric crate motors to… something cheap and light?

Or, for a little more oomph, this "Tesla crate motor" by ReVolt:
