If you've got existing systems with implemented, tested, and in-production TLS
1.2 stacks then the motivation to do a completely new TLS stack that does more
or less the same thing as the old one but requires twice the code space (since
it'll have to run alongside the old stack) and, usually, a truck roll to
upgrade each system using it, is minimal if not zero.

Thus there are many systems that will probably stay with 1.2 more or less
forever.

(This skips a lot of detail, e.g. if you've got a 10-20 year upgrade cycle
then newer systems that have the resources for it may do dual-stack, but since
they have to operate in an environment where everything else is on 1.2 or
earlier they can't afford to drop 1.2.  Even with newly-developed systems if
you've got limited code space and have to choose between either 1.2 or 1.3,
it'll be "stay with 1.2").
