But in that case you're stuck paying the overhead 100% of the time, even though 90% of the lifetimes are simple. (Perhaps a little less so with escape analysis etc., but doing it at compile time in a way that's understandable in the source feels a lot more reliable)

Java and C# are languages of different class. C# is perfectly capable of systems programming and manual memory management that is at least more convenient than C (but not C++ with move semantics and operator overloading abuse, otoh C#'s type system and build process are saner which at least partially pays for this).
