You can't call GC pauseless if it introduces pauses. We don't say something is free if you have to pay little for it. We say it's cheap.

I think as a technical term, pausless (as used here) has a specific meaning, just like real-time has a specific technical meaning (not literally 0 latency since that's generally physically impossible).
