Why am I unable to find any compilers on 64-bit Windows?

I can find the LCC compiler in MATLAB on 32-bit Windows. However I cannot find the same in MATLAB on 64-bit Windows. Is LCC missing? Are there any free compilers for 64-bit Windows that are shipped with MATLAB?

Unlike the 32-bit version of MATLAB, which bundles the lcc compiler, the 64-bit version of MATLAB does not include a C compiler. If you use a MathWorks product or feature that requires a C compiler, you will need to install a compiler separately. See the 64-bit Windows Supported and Compatible Compilers web page for more information on products that require a compiler, and which compilers are supported. Some of the supported compilers, notably Microsoft Visual C++ Express, are available free of charge.

Is this still the case?

Not exactly. R2021b says

"The following products include lcc-win64 when installed: Simulink, MATLAB Coder, SimBiology, Fixed-Point Designer, HDL Coder, HDL Verifier, Stateflow, Simulink Coder, and Embedded Coder. This compiler is no longer supported and will be removed in a future release of MATLAB and Simulink. MathWorks recommends you install one of the other compilers listed on this page when using these products."
