One illustration of this came in 2015 when Stallman decided he would rather prevent the Gnu Compiler Collection from supporting modern IDE features like symbol completion, than allow GCC front ends to be paired with free-but-not-copyleft backends like LLVM and Clang: "Since LLVM and Clang are not copylefted, they invite nonfree extensions. They are a gaping hole in the defensive wall around our city." Allowing full access to GCC's internals would have obvious technical benefits, and as far as I know Stallman advanced no technical argument against the proposal. Disallowing it put the project at a significant disadvantage at a time when its influence was already waning. The message was clear: GCC exists to serve FSF, not the other way around.
