I'm not sure if you're serious or if this is some kind of parody 
and I'm missing the joke.

Well obviously. That's about the only reason anyone still uses 
either language. Everyone else left for the greener pastures of 
the GC-world long ago.

There is no doubt that there are small number of cases in which 
this is true. Judging from the software that gets written these 
days, including Electron apps, I don't think the world agrees 
with you that it's only about maximizing speed and minimizing 
memory usage. Java, Python, C#, Javascript - they're all popular 
languages.
