Electronic fuel injection.

I didn't know that either. I've hill-started my motorcycle a few times by popping the clutch and I know it's an EFI bike, so it must be exclusive to cars.

I've hill started a manual 2001 Prizm (same as a Corolla). It has EFI, so I don't see why that's a problem. I haven't tried it with my manual '09 Forester.

The only thing I want to manually shift is my motorcycle.

I don't care to own a manual transmission car. There is nothing fun about driving in every day traffic with speed regulations.

I don't know Brock well enough to call him a liar. Evidently you don't harbor such consternation.

I guess if the car has been running the day before or something like that, there could be enough residual fuel to restart it via popping the clutch. I've had a few that hadn't been started in a couple of months, so maybe that had something to do with it.
