Same here. Back when D had little competition, D1/D2/tango/phobos/dmd/gccd fragmentation decimated an already small ecosystem.
D sees optional GC as the best of both worlds, but IMHO this is only another axis on which the language is fragmented, and casts doubt whether the language and ecosystem is fully committed to supporting absolutely-no-GC users.
Golang has probably taken over D's GC niche, and Zig is competing with -betterC.

They know where they want to go, and stand by their decisions no matter what.
