Unreal has GC support for C++.

Unfortunately Unity broken GC is a side effect of them not wanting to improve the stone age runtime they are using.

I guess many AAA could actually be done in languages with GC support, but game devs tend to only change tools when the OS/console vendors force them.

All that is needed is having such a vendor pushing a language with the same effort as they are pushing for JavaScript JITs, lets say.
