Why is that a "problem with GC"?

Abstracting away >90% of resource management (i.e. local memory) is a significant benefit.

It's like saying the "problem with timesharing OS" is that it doesn't address 100% of concurrency/parallelism needs.

I think a charitable reading would be that by "problem" they meant "limitation".
