Most of those folks would never manage to replicate something like Xerox Cedar on their own, from 1980 in their beloved 2026 computers.
Thankfully we have the likes of Apple and Google, that have a my way or the highway education system for such developers, that want to go through their magical gardens.

What are you talking about
There are roughly two orders of magnitude more microcontrollers in the world running code than application processors. GC is not acceptable on a microcontroller due to the extreme resource constraints. The GP post is correct, Go can replace some use cases for C, but it does not replace all use cases and GC is part of the reason.
