Not at all. I just do not like to dance around bonfire with tam-tam and being told that this is the one and only way

It's not the only way, but if you do the tradeoff of going with manual memory management, then you should accept what the tradeoff entails. Essential complexity is non-reducible -- you either manage it automatically through a GC or choose a model that while let you ignore it quite often, will make you think about it in the end.
You're trying to draw a comparison with a consumer product with a design flaw.
