For shared it’s important to not suddenly break sites, even during security updates. That’s were you get hardened php and keeping php 5 still alive on many shared hosts. I can see this as just being something added to new Wordpress installs but backwards compatability will always be kept for the current shared hosting. However it does give an opening for a new comer on the block who starts fresh with a simplified set up since they can start fresh on with a simpler infrastructure.
