We are a hosting and service company and only administer, consult and
service our customers. Their web agencies or programmers bring the
requirements and we have to deal with it.

That is your stand and I personally find it very valid. But we are not
talking any OSS projects, but (sometimes) closed source software like
various shops or modules etc. And those companies won't simply change
just because we want them too. And our customers (as hosting company)
have invested quite a hefty sum into their shops, so they, too, won't
just switch to another software including external connections, payment
etc. etc. just because PHP made a new release.

It's extremely frustrating on our side as I see the same thing as the
trusty release will be hitting us again. A great new OS that we simply
can't use for many customers, as they rely on older versions, that won't
switch for months (or years). And PHP plays a great deal in that stack
that is used.
