- lol people really say whatever comes to their mind around here don't they?

Apple literally hired Chris Lattner in 2005 and made a team to work on LLVM. After GNU refused to integrate LLVM into GCC,

But Apple saw an opportunity to have its own C/C++ compiler.

To this day, Apple still has one core team working on LLVM.

Anyone can come in, add a feature/target, and then leave the project. But a of lot LLVM maintainers are hired by or indirectly big tech companies.
