I think the main reason is cost(for not doing a DCT)
The other reason is drivability would Caddy owners be ok with the hard shifts?
So to summarize they already have a 10 speed AT that they poured a pile of money into developing it.
Plus they have Caddy owners who demand a plush ride and minimal NVH.
Putting a DCT in the Camaro alone would be expensive and would never get past the bean counters.
