Still the whole world runs on GC-ed languages so it must be an abstraction at least some people like to work with.

And I'm pretty sure using a GC in some cases it's the only option to not go crazy.

I think we are just used to it. Like we are used to so many suboptimal solutions in our professional and personal lives.

I mean, look something like C++ or the name "std::vector" specifically. There are probably 4 Trillion LoC containing this code out there - in production. I'm used to it, doesn't make it good.
