I see how someone can think that, but I don't think there's much truth to it.

I can also see how someone could think that it's impossible to eat, drink, smoke, operate windshield wipers manually while keeping an eye on a drunk "friend" in the backseat to be sure they weren't about to throw up in your car and drive a stick at the same time, but I know this is not only doable, but repeatable.

and also virtually guarantees that they won’t be lending the car out.

There is more truth in this. More importantly, knowing how to drive a stick means they will never stranded or at the mercy of someone that does because they don't know how.
