The open one would stagnate because it has over 3 times as many developers, writing over 3 times as much code? You seriously think that?

No, I think that the proprietary one would get all the company contributors, and therefore have the lion’s share of developers.

The apple employees working on it are the minority, that is the point. If apple decided to have their employees work on a closed source fork, they would have less than 25% of the current developers of LLVM/clang working on their compiler. LLVM/clang would still have the other 75%+.
