Given that the no-GC-by-default market is ~10% of the global software market [1] with no signs of shift in either direction over the past couple of decades, which sounds about right to me (considering the percentage of programs that need to run in memory-constrained environment or must have precise control over memory), it seems that the number of those who may benefit significantly from a different choice is small and so it doesn't look like anyone wants or needs to be convinced of anything. "GC languages" already command ~90% of the market and have little to gain from such a small market of potential converts, and the others aren't trying or succeeding in increasing their market share, so who cares given the small stakes?
