It's pure laziness. That is the hole point of AGC, right? So you don't have to pay attention to what you are doing.
Well, aren't we all programmers because we are lazy? Othherwise we would be moving physical stuff around ;)
Certainly, Walter, Andrei and the rest were anything but lazy. Quite the opposite. But considering what they accomplished already, maybe they decide to go that extra mile in the coming years.
I actually enjoy the comfort of a GC cleaning up after me, if I don't have critical stuff to do. Other than that, you are right: if you know what you do in your code and given powerful tools, you can accomplish more (performance).
