I think that when you find arguments that GC can be competitive with manual memory management, they always rely on the assumption that it is in the context of idiomatic code. For a GC language, idiomatic code allows the use of a generation

There are also different treatments of capital gains, and phantom gains which arise only from shifts in exchange rates. For anyone of any means beyond their salary alone these both can lead to paying more combined tax to both countries
