A few languages do support such low-level controls to have such fine grain memory control outside GC hands.

So the question is, having been able to achieve half of the allowed budget, why pay for more development effort?

Of course, if the bugdet is only achievable with a lower level language, there is no way around using it.

Because sometimes there's no budget, there's "we spend less money on hardware the less resources our program uses" so faster is always better.
