They are asking for suggestions, perhaps these 2 other compilers were suggested?
By the way you should be aware there is 100% no requirement for Apple to defend their choice for a compiler. They can choose whatever they want for any reason or no reason at all. If they don’t choose your favorite compiler it’s not some kind of evil conspiracy.
They made a choice and published a document describing their thought process and you can take it or leave it.

But they did - or rather this is a justification, not specifically a defense. I was just adding on to the previous posters suggested reasoning, which is hinting at something more like a cover story for using non-GPL compiler. Of course they are free to do that too, but no need to publish silly comparisons to justify, rationalize, or defend it.
