This is the point; the Bronco is reintroduced as competitor to the Jeep Wrangler, as they were competitors in the 1960's. The Bronco design has inherent NVH characteristics that any removable door and roof vehicle would have. The tolerances required to make the doors and roof easily removable increase the chance of noise entering the cabin, and off-road capable suspension + tires brings compromises to street handling characteristics.
There are numerous first-time buyers* of the Bronco that do not understand the type of vehicle they are buying; it's Jeep Thing - Ford style...
* there are many of these buyers on the Bronco forums that do not understand what they are buying. These people will be the source of the soon to be used fleet available for purchase (unfortunately right now at far too inflated prices).

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
