Cazaneuve, Pinacho, Schaublin, Weiler, Meuser, and a host of Bulgarian, Polish, Czech, and Romanian companies still make "manual" lathes, although, as Monarchist mentioned, many now included built in DROs, and often digital threading.
Oh, way more than THAT! Optika and Optimax are still "manual' in that separate CAD MAY exist. But do not have to.
There's an English-narrated version of Cazeneuve's schtick on the 'tube.
