for "standalone" users this is probably true.
for corporate users i think this often boils down to in-house policies.

e.g. in university labs the machines are often administered by some 
central authority that is not especially Pd affine (they just manage 
software in general).
they tend to not always update machines immediately after one of the 
components has been updated.
and even if they do, they often only update during the semester breaks 
(and not during a running semester).

then there is also the issue of operating systems that already come with 
Pd (preinstalled, or in the OS repositories), like Ubuntu or Debian.

it might not be your modus operandi, but it's nice to think of others.
