Do you think the developers of gcc don't care?

That's about right. At least for C, they don't.
Most likely the same applies even stronger to Fortran.
For C++ they would love to not care, but then their compiler would
become unusable. So they have to care, but probably very sorry about it.

However bigger reason is not lack of care, but the style of their
development process. It's best described as a patchwork.

Or they are just bad at writing code? 

I don't thinks so. Most of them are rather good. But factors mentioned
above prevail.

Do you know how laughable that is?  It is not
/quite/ as bad as your usual paranoia that the developers behind C,
gcc, Linux, make, and countless other things you don't understand
created them just to annoy you personally.
