Why would they? They don't use it and you can get it from the gcc project
easily enough.

The main problem is that Apple's own C++ stuff is based on either a
pre-C++11 libstdc++ or a C++11 libc++. You could probably build an official
GPL3-d libstdc++ with C++11 support and it would probably even work (that
being one of the points of C++11) but might not be able to distribute the
resulting objects/binaries because of conflicts between GPL and Apple's
licenses.
