You sound like you haven't worked with many BigCo projects. Clang is turning into an "enterprise" junkyard due to too many cooks spoiling the broth, crumbling so much under the weight of its own complexity that 2022 is almost here and support for C++20 still isn't anywhere near complete (unlike GCC). The more parties that get involved, the worse the code will get. Clang already has more people working on it than MSVC, yet MSVC is iterating faster; this suggests a fundamental problem with the architecture or development processes of Clang, which is not something that will be fixed by more hands on deck (remember the mythical man-month).
