JVM development is slow. Things take years to a decade. If we want to have a GC that's better than G1 a decade from now we have to start now. G1 does not have an order of magnitude improvement in stw pauses in it. It may be good (or acceptable depending on where you stand) today but a decade from now we need something better.
The best features in the world are useless if you can't use them because of prohibitive licensing cost.
