Libraries will often have no need for data structures with complex 
lifestyles. There are exceptions, of course, but that's what I have 
generally found to be the case. For the bulk of image processing, you 
can just throw the memory management problem to the end user.

Games have strict performance requirements that a stop-the-world type of 
garbage collector violates. Specifically, a full collection would cause 
an undue delay of hundreds of milliseconds on occasion. If this happens 
once every ten seconds, your game has performance problems. This is not 
true of pretty much any other type of application.

Games usually have scripting languages that might make use of a garbage 
collector, though. And there is research into realtime garbage 
collectors that would be suitable for use in games.
