Yeah it's interesting that a (relatively) small quirk in the Linux source has the "political leverage" to impact the whole C ecosystem.
I suppose C was made for Unix at Bell Labs and GCC is also inextricably tied, you could say that C is first and foremost the language of Linux, fair enough.
I suspect that the problem is a problem in many code bases, but only a hugely important project like Linux has the leverage to try and have it addressed at the ecosystem level.
