From what I've heard and read (mostly from WWDC videos) Apple doesn't feel they
can technically do what they want with a compiler with GCC.
I guess they technically can but it's too much work with the GCC code base.
It certainly seems to be true that LLVM is moving faster innovation-wise. I
don't know how much of that is down to any architectural advantages, how much
might be because they support less targets and so have a lower maintenance
burden, and how much of it is just the scale of resources being put into it.
