I think you mean "don't expect to do CD to these people". CI is "developers check in code and everything is integrated daily". CD adds "and then we push it out live if tests pass". I've worked on software products that attempted CD, and it's not gotten a lot of great acceptance. Customers don't really want constant notifications about having to upgrade, except for very serious fixes. And I don't know many IT departments in big companies that are like, "sure, go ahead and auto-update". CI, on the other hand, is wonderful. You don't have the mainline off in this broken state for weeks while you're adding features.
