Games might be an area where it isn't too bad since you can disable the GC while doing all your physics and graphics, and then just after you've dispatched a frame trigger a GC with a hard time limit.
I don't know if Unity works like that but it should.
I don't think that's even possible - to have that much control over GC engine that is.
It definitely is.

It's not trivial as it seems. See https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/37667 and enhancement that happened only in .NET 8.
Interesting. From the sounds of it Unity added their own API for it though.
