Practically all major languages other than C or C++ rely on GC. That point makes no sense. The JVM is used in so many critical infrastructure projects (let alone web apps like OP was referring to), and so the JIT point is also incorrect.

Point's waaaaaay over there, dude. This isn't about what is or should be. It's about what people perceive and how that affects their decisions. People who've been programming twice as long as the JVM has existed might still have a few funny ideas about it.
