Why would Apple invest in third-party toolchains? Aren't they incentivized to only support Xcode, Swift, and other tools that are as tightly bound to their ecosystem as possible?

Because they sell hardware and commodize its complement. Having a good Dev experience is part of that, be that a good story for mac-only software (swift/xcode -- ymmv if this is better than other technologies, but that's the intent) or having your posix software mostly just work.

Apple uses community tools internally for some things.
