Thank you I was literally wondering what garbage collection needs to be paid for.

Garbage collection always needs to be paid for -- in working set size and CPU time. That's why you never see production kernels, databases, video codecs, or high performance games written in GC languages.

Yes but it would still feel weird for me to thank my employer for that.
