Every project has rules which need to be followed, even by volunteers. And in the past is was usual behaviour, if not unwritten law, not to break other people's stuff.
Sure, modifications are allowed, but if you change something you need to take care it doesn't affect other parts _of the same project_. And cc1obj _is_ (still?) a part of GCC.

Zem (the objective C maintainer) broke the objective C frontend, not some other developer.
So your argument doesn't seem to apply, because it had nothing to do with something in the middle end breaking a frontend.
