I would say because the cure is worse than the disease. But this is my
opinion...
In particular, finalization under a collector is performed with no regard
to interdependencies of the collected objects. The property of being
"unreachable" is not enough to determine the correct order of finalization.
If some order is established using references, then the gates of hell
opens, hard references, weak references, cyclic references etc.
And should you have references already, a reference counting schema would
be as good as automated collection.
