I wonder if they licensed the source of 5.0+ to someone and are still getting paid for it. If so, it's probably something ubiquitous and critical that nobody would think of like traffic lights or water treatment plants.

I think that is likely since 3.3 wasn't included either and that is one of those versions people stuck with for ages.
