But I didn't say that.  The language is entirely under Apple's
control.  It is not developed by a committee or some independent
group.  Which means that when Apple decides to make changes,
implementors have to catch up.  Undoubtedly, LLVM/Clang is doing a
much better job than GCC on that front but this has its technical and
non-technical explanation.

Not this in particular, but I'm aware there is free software for Mac.
Unfortunately, most of it is not readily available or easily portable
because it a) depends on other nonfree libraries; b) relies on
functionality not yet implemented on GNUstep (which would be the case
even if GNUstep stopped supporting GCC).
