IMHO gcc has better warnings and support for safety. Industry mostly wants a BSD-licensed toolchain. I could not care less.

GCC only recently started with its safety analysers, it doesn't do C++, and isn't as customisable as clang tidy.

Additionally it lacks the language extensions Apple and Google have been adding to clang, which remains to be seen which ever get proposed to be part of the standard.

You might care less, however as mentioned there are industry relevant platforms where GCC doesn't get to play at all, thus plenty of people do care.
