But why would they?  What's in it for them?

Seriously, on the mac, it makes sense, as gcc is hamstrung by Apple's
policies there, and systems like FreeBSD where it serves a political
purpose are happy to do it -- but that isn't the case elsewhere, and
clang currently really doesn't offer much practical advantage for the
user.
