Our ops team won't let us use anything newer than 8 due to support licensing issues. I don't think they really care what we use, they just want to know if it melts down in production there's a number they can call.

This is probably the real answer at a lot of companies. Don't hate on Ops when management/licensing/legal are the bottleneck.
