Because GC wastes cycles on the user's machines instead of just hiring a competent developer who can manage memory properly. As we move to a more mobile world, wasted cycles matter more. So no. While GC is the definite answer to "how do I allow my dog to make a 'press this button for fart sound' app?" Is it most certainly not the definitive answer (though perhaps a passable one) to "how do I write good fast stable software?"
