They only need enough for Swift, Objective-C(++) and Metal Shading Language implementations, alongside IO and Driver Kit, the key places where Apple's ecosystem makes use of C++.
Then they used to have the integration of blocks (C extension for lambdas) into the respective frameworks, and their own bitcode format was more stable than LLVM bitcode (deprecated now, most likely fed up with the bitcode fork).
