For good reason.  Check out the mess that results from allowing plugins
in the Asterisk system: it makes many of the advantages of it being
Free Software go away.

Minor technical advantages shouldn't have been enough to create that
situation.  I hope it never happens to GCC, but I'm not optimistic.
