A Singleton should be inheritable or They should not be ?

According to Gof "when the sole instance should be extensible by subclassing, and clients
should be able to use an extended instance without modifying their code."

but then why do i see Sealed and Private constructor examples on MSDN

    In my projects, I use an Ambient Context implementation from Mark Seemanns book Dependency Injection in .NET. The main point of use of that pattern is that always when you are asking for Current instance, there has to be something and also Context can be switched by other implementation.
    F.E.

    public class TimeContext
    {
        private static TimeContext _instance;
    
        public static TimeContext Current
        {
            get
            {
                if (_instance == null)
                {
                    _instance = new DefaultContext();
                }
                return _instance;
            }
            set
            {
                if (value != null)
                {
                    _instance = value;
                }
            }
        }
        public abstract DateTime GetDateTime();
    }
    

    And concrete implementation of context should be like:

    public class DefaultContext : TimeContext
    {
        public DateTime GetDateTime()
        {
            return DateTime.Now();
        }
    
    }
