That's enough of a track record for even one person that one can say, Linux pretty much always comes with gcc. And if it doesn't, it's easy to install as you say.

No, it does not.

 Yes, it does.
 

No.
You were wrong half a year ago when this discussion was active, and you are still wrong now.  Are you /really/ bearing a grudge for that long?

 

Distrowatch shows the version of the packages in the distributions repositories,

 Wrong again.
  From the founder of distrowatch:
 "The package versions are the ones included on the install media."
 

Re-read that sentence.  Then try again a few more times, until you understand it.  Having a package on the install media does /not/ mean it is necessarily installed - it merely means it is available for installation if the user wants.  In most cases, people do not install anything close to all the packages on the installation media (unless the installation media is intentionally for a minimal install).
