Consider how enormous the computer game industry is... and nearly no professional game developer will work in a GC environment because it is indeed a problem for the user experience in high performance games. Sometimes, focusing on the machine is nearly the whole point of the focus on the domain problem.

Well, except for literally all the developers that use Unity, Flash, Java, and GameMaker (but I guess they aren't True Professionals?)

In the space of core engine stuff, I agree.

Fair point. But a lot of people write their own C++ engines for their apps. This is certainly true in a lot of mobile games.
