And which was exactly my point.

Such argument doesn't make sense since you will find usage of shared-ptrs in probably more or less every high performance C++ codebase out there. The secrete sauce is to know _where_ and _when_ to use it. I'm not against it but I'm definitely not in favor of language forcing me to user it when I don't need it.
