Funny enough, he has talked about this exact problem on his podcast “Two’s complement”; Specifically the episode “The future of compiler explorer”. Commenters below are correct that it’s just about how heavily associated his name is with the tool. I just figured I’d also drop this source here because he has a lot of interesting things to say about his involvement with the project

It does have ads, but they were not too intrusive. Scroll down if there’s an ad on first click and there’s a play button that plays the episode.
For me the ads it showed were only text and images, not audio interrupting ads.
You can also listen to it on YouTube:

But since it’s audio only, I preferred listening to it via the aforementioned podcast website.
