Oh, definitely. But the Linux (or alternate OS) fans are not really on Apple's radar. OTOH, they do a good job of keeping some core binaries up-to-date, like zsh and Vim, and they did appeal about getting good compile times during the M1 release event, so they consider POSIX users part of their target market.

There's no link between - compile time and "POSIX users".

Last I checked, I can compile and deploy an iOS app without the need for anything POSIX.

Bootcamp has always run fine for me. I've never tried to install Linux on my Macs.
