Agreed. It is what I usually find at client installations in backend systems (at least for the last five years). IMHO it would be pointless to ask them to re-test/re-certify all their already running applications (in turn, specified for Java 8 by their respective providers), with promises about (unrequested) performance gains.
BTW, I remember in the past the only way for me to "push" some clients to upgrade from Java 5/6 (to Java 8) was the security/regulatory threat related to running an "unsupported" version of Java: think of the regulatory move from TLS 1.1 to 1.2 and now into 1.3.
