It's interesting that the advantage for LLVM is that it was used to create a compiler for a processor with a secret and proprietary instruction set.

If NVIDIA had to use GCC (surely they'd have just done their own instead, but for the sake of argument) then we'd all get to learn more about their architecture and maybe make compilers for different languages that natively target their processors...

What makes you think you have the right to learn about a proprietary architecture? Just because you bought the product doesn't mean NVIDIA has to tell you how it works.
