The Noct is a niche lens for the niche user. Nikon understood their market for those purchasing this lens. Didn't this lens sell out when it was first released? So, there's definitely a market for it.
The lens is the Lexus LFA of Nikon lenses. Nikon could create something very neat and they did it with the Noct 58. Having it MF or AF, it's really up to the end user to decide what they want to create. It's neither good or bad, no wrong answers, it's just something the buyer of the NOCT has to consider. Using the 50 1.2S for a week, I loved it. If I had the chance to own a NOCT, of course I would. You wouldn't say no to a Lexus LFA if Lexus decided to give you one, right? haha.
I would love to own one. Adult me says "no, stop it. get help". Kid me says "DO IT...NOW!" But we all have our priorities  I'm 100% renting one this year. It looks like a brutally amazing lens. I'm not surprised that we're not seeing too many posts on here NOCT users but there are some. Just like how you will see a Lexus LFA pop up once in a while at your local exotic car show/event.
I guess the LFA analogy would make sense if it came with a 3 speed manual transmission with no synchromesh.
;p
