Because of the aeternal RHEL problem... most shared hosting servers are running vanilla RHEL with CPanel on top, which comes with PHP 5.3, and they can be very reluctant to upgrade PHP. But RHEL 6 comes with PHP 5.3.3 out of the box, and RHEL5 has the php53 package that is again 5.3.3... I assume the question was about PHP 5.2 :)
