People care about distiguishing C89 and C99 from GCC and clang and their versions. If we don't want to block the road to future compilers for the same language (and we had other compilers in the past, they just aren't maintained anymore), we'd better be careful to distinguish them.

Because it's the first stable release, not the last. We expect to improve still.
