I don't why you were in that impression that only proprietary applications needed a standardized deployment. The goal of sticking to a single release is essentially because it is a known quantity and that is very important when you have hundreds or thousands of systems or even a few critical ones. Custom in house applications are often written in enterprises and upgrading can break them in non obvious ways. Unless the new release offers something that is compelling enough to think about, mere inertia is enough to not change anything.
