Reference counting is not tracing garbage collection. To also quote a Wikipedia Link:
„The main advantage of the reference counting over tracing garbage collection is that objects are reclaimed as soon as they can no longer be referenced, and in an incremental fashion, without long pauses for collection cycles and with clearly defined lifetime of every object.“+ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_counting
