On desktop PCs and servers perhaps, but in embedded the very fact that you
need two sets of codebases means many systems will stay with 1.2, possibly
forever when everything around them is also staying with 1.2.

Unless the only codebase you've got is 1.2.  However in the same embedded
systems you typically do it once, do it right, and skip the neverending flow
of bells and whistles that keep appearing, so there's no need to constantly
fiddle with the code as for PC/server use.
