That's kind of the point of RHEL/CentOS releases... stability above all else.
RHEL/CentOS 8.x will likely include a much newer, but still not bleeding-edge version of gcc and friends.
You can always download the source and compile a newer gcc if you have that requirement... or perhaps try EPEL repo's.
