Sounds like most of us :)

Mostly you are correct about the LLL but it has become a focus of an
important question.  How low can you go, how much control can you
have, and still have garbage collection in the default case.   Part of
that is actually writing the garbage collector in the LLL.   It is
also perhaps desirable to have a set of programs for which it is
guaranteed that no garbage collector is necessary.

For the rest the LLL is a result of tunes trying to overspecify things
in the design, and creating confusion.
