A significant part of work on LLVM comes from Apple, which includes support for quirks of _their_ proprietary chips and platform; and the world is much better for those changes being upstreamed rather than living in a fork somewhere.

There's a big difference between "we are the only people who sell hardware using these chips" and "we are the only people who have access to hardware using these chips".
