The devil's best tool.
I'm just grateful z/VM is still alive and well and getting stronger and
better every day especially with the advent of the z196 and that it is
only a question of time before the compiler issue will be addressed.

Not this heart"

z/VM has LE ported over from z/OS.
So things cannot be all that bad in the world of CMS compilers.
LE has two parts: the common libraries and the compilers that use them.
The libraries have been maintained, the compilers (with the exception of
C/C++) have not been made available on CMS.
So, yes, it really IS that bad. I understand why: no business case to do
the testing and doc, but isn't that a self-fulfilling prophecy?
Sad. It's like having a dear relative on a life support machine. You
almost wish the doctor would finally tell you it's hopeless, so at least
you'd know.
