From my experience, "decent" and "shared host" are mutually exclusive
That's not always the case

Well of course you are right, but it is like in Christmas morning (although I am a Muslim) when you can't wait to open the presents and play with them. Even though sometimes you won't find the present very useful, still being able to "play" with it could be nice.So, who knows, maybe it's not something you'll actually find useful.
Yeah, I've always thought that was odd, especially since PHP 5.4 has been completely unsupported (even lacking security fixes) since September 2015
And on the subject of that, if people don't want to use something like centminmod (why wouldn't you) or people are concerned about which repo to use, then the Remi repos are pretty much the default that most people go to.Sometimes CentOS takes the old and stable route a bit too far. Although it's not too terribly difficult to upgrade to newer versions with additional repos.
#WindowsFilePermissionsAreTheDevilJust to be different... PHP7.2 on a dedicated Windows 2012 server using IIS

We do not use Centminmod because we do not use CentOSAnd on the subject of that, if people don't want to use something like centminmod (why wouldn't you)
... and now I'm on 7.2 for the main site. Was missing some 7.2 extensions, just had to get it sorted out using EA4. Turns out I wasn't as behind on my "To Do" list as I thought as the main XF site was already using PHP 7.0 while the rest of the misc. sites are still on 5.6 as the default. The XF requirements script is giving the warning about 'exec' being disabled but it looks like it's not a concern unless I was using ffmpeg in the gallery..... and there's my motivation to figure out what the problem is.
So, if you're still in the 45.2% of XF2 customers (there's potentially many more still using XF1...) who are using PHP 5.x, why is that? Do you run other software that isn't yet PHP 7.x compatible? Does your host not provide the option to upgrade? Do you manage the server yourself, and you're unsure how to perform the upgrade yourself? Have you just not got time? Some other reason?
