Garbage collection. It's in the leading paragraph of the article so I can see why it's easy to miss.

Unremarked: debug build perf, perf-stability against minor edits, build-time bloat when heavily using std templates.

PS5 sells at a loss & makes up the difference collecting rent on a closed system. With Steam you're buying an open system.

Footnote 6 "How is this different from struct in C#" is inaccurate. Since the article is littered with AI-generated images, I assume the writing, or at least the research, is littered with hallucinations?
