I mean that saying "on Linux ... you will have it installed anyway" is
wrong.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "version".  Every version (in the sense
of release number) of a source-only Linux distribution will have gcc
installed, but is that all you mean?  Source-only distributions are rare

Which ones?

"[I]n the dozen or two versions I've come across, it always has been".
So you can't remember even one of the dozen or two versions you've come
across?  How long ago did you last come across a version of Linux?
