> The pause is completely deterministically in control of your program.
In theory. In practice, the programmer may not be able to reproduce the pause to diagnose and fix it, or it may not bubble up to the top of the priority list. Whereas with a GC, this problem may not occur at all in the first place.
The question is whether such cases (large object graph or linked list) occur often enough in practice to be worth bothering about.
