Most motorbikes have them as standard, I wonder why car manufacturers dont fit them as standard.

Because bikes rev over 10,000 rpm, some up to 19,000 rpm and the engine oil is shared with the gearbox and clutch so there are a lot more metal fragments floating about so a magnetic drain plug will help out considerably.

Waste of time on a road car.

Peugeot gearboxes have them.

Always find chunks of metal when Ive removed the plug on any peugeot gearbox, weak, shitty metal ftl.

Chunks?

I take mine off and it's just like iron filings that are stuck to it.

Nah, filings really.

Get chunks when the diff has exploded though
