Don't they ship a propetietary clang variant with weirdass version numbers? That was true at least at some point. Fortunately most Mac users on my experiments have given up attempting to compile any code in their Macs after SIP etc made it too annoying so rarely have to support them anymore.
can you please tell us what have they done for open source except LLVM.
Probably took me less time to search “Apple open source” and click the first link than it did to type your question:
https://opensource.apple.com/
Basically nothing except swift and llvm.

Swift, WebKit, Darwin/XNU, MLX, FoundationDB, Container, Pkl, libdispatch (GCD), CUPS, CareKit, ResearchKit, Kubernetes, Cassandra, Spark, Netty, Solr…
Sure, but other then language tools, databases, printing, container orchestration, what have the Roman’s ever done for us?

If you see google and microsoft contribution to OSS, apple contribution to OSS is basically nothing.
LLVM / Swift / Webkit & XNU (I don’t really know of anything using Xnu up stream but the others are large open source projects?)
Clang, OpenCL, MLX
