There are many reasons. Often the reason is simply that many cheap
hosting companies or admins don't want to spend time to update. For them
this is only a cost. And there are no game changers which create
pressure. All major applications work on "old" versions and for the
individual developer it is hard to argue "oh, I want to use the <=>
operator" as the work-around is trivial.
Hosters had to offer 5 quite quickly since that was a big game changer
with the new object model.
