  Isn't garbage collection the problem for being in the system programming?

    No. It might be a problem for real-time systems, which are a subset. For example, storage systems would do fine.

    Not necessarily. There have been real-world operating systems that employed garbage collectors (e.g., Oberon, Genera).
