Maybe on the current cars, but.................
Saab used a pull up ring. GM used a "T" lever that pulled up. VW, BTW, also uses the same system, although they are technically the same company. I don't think many companies that sell in the US even give it much thought anymore, as less than 5% of the new cars sold in the US last year had manual transmissions.
BTW, I'm in for one for the 4kq. Possibly two, depending on cost.

I made my own short shift "kit" for my CGT, works well too.
Cut off the end of the shift rod & the ball joint it attached to, threaded the shift rod, and attached an adjustable heim link. Takes an inch or so out of the throw. Costs around $10.
