OpenBSD also packages gcc 11.2.0, but it is broken on mips64 and sparc64. clang is bad on sparc64, so sparc64 uses gcc 8.4.0 to compile C++ code. Trying to go up from gcc 8 to 11 would break too many sparc64 packages. Mac OS works around this problem by not running on sparc64. The PowerPC back-end in llvm can't target Mac OS (only ELF or AIX), so there's no clang, and gcc might get more attention.
