I asked 'the people who use software' and they don't like excessive memory usage or stuttering from bulk collection.
Also libraries written in a garbage collected language are only going to be usable in the same language.
Lots of people only think about the language they want to program in, then rationalize it being fine. That's how we got stuff like electron. When people think about what someone actually wants to receive that stuff goes away.

GC is explicitly about memory. There are other features for others, like context managers in python.
The people who use software have spoken and they don't like GC.
