well, we (i.e the general public :) only really need ONE good, open
source Ada compiler any way. right?

Look at Java for example, oracle's Java is all there is really. In
open source, it is openJDK. That is the Java that everyone uses. That
is what I use on Linux and windows.

I do not see a problem with having just one Ada compiler. As
long as it is open, and free to use, and is good.

What is needed for Ada, is more Ada libraries, not more Ada
compilers.
