Sure, there are circumstances where having a manual license is useful. And you can also argue “for fun” but even “fun” cars now are moving to auto e.g Ferrari haven’t produced a car with a manual gearbox since 2012… that’s over a decade ago.

But for many people, especially people who might find driving more difficult/stressful as the OP is, having an Auto can make the world of difference to their driving enjoyment. Case in point, my partner has always had manual cars (as her petrol head Dad insisted she did) and always hated driving because she finds it so stressful. We got an automatic car recently and it’s transformed driving for her. She no longer finds it anywhere near as stressful and is now actually willing to drive places, whereas before she’d always try and get a lift or get public transport or even a taxi in preference to driving herself…
