I agree 100% end of the day a 1 company approach is irrelevant when the product is available as open source. Many companies "invest" in AdaCore for new development work to the compiler or have maintenance contracts because is is open source and their support and maintenance dollars are protected long term by it being libre software.

I also agree, the quality of AdaCore's work and frequency of it has generally not made it a "need". However there is already much work in the community on the compiler, but most has just been on creating FSF gcc/ada executables since that has been where any "need" has lied.
