Not sure what I said was false?
I agree that GC and memory safety are orthogonal -- see rust. But there aren't a lot of options if you want safe and non-GC, which was my point.
And GC is just not an option sometimes. GC has been around forever but it just hasn't proven itself in a lot of domains. I don't think it's for lack of trying, I think it's because sometimes you want to manage the memory.
