Because garbage-collected languages are easier to teach and to use. So the low-level, low-resource or high-performance stuff is left to a handful of specialists - or "insects" according to Heinlein. Speaking of old things, this reminds me of one of Asimov's short stories, where someone who rediscovers mental calculus is believed to be a genius.
