That's because they still struggle hard with out-of-distribution tasks even though some of them can be solved using existing training data pretty well. Focusing on out-of-distribution will probably lower scores for benchmarks. They focus too much on common tasks.

And keep in mind, the original creators of the first compiler had to come up with everything: lexical analysis -> parsing -> IR -> codegen -> optimization. LLMs are not yet capable of producing a lot of novelty. There are many areas in compilers that can be optimized right now, but LLMs can't help with that.
