It's most likely so you don't have to update the binary when the next version of LLVM comes out. There are a lot of apps that don't get updated with major iOS versions and they would likely see improvement.
Conspiracy theories aside, wouldn't it take them more effort to ship a different version of LLVM for Xcode and another one that runs against bitcode?
