What is the point of these great releases if people are still stuck on versions 2-3 years old?

I'm on 4.3
4.4 is Kitkat, which isn't available yet.

Those charts are a little disingenuousness to be honest. Companies like Samsung (IIRC) are still releasing phones on Gingerbread because it's easier to put on a simple flip phone, I think my Dad bought some Samsung phone for 150 at Telus which was running Gingerbread, this was late winter of this year.

Apple's claims, the amazing high percentage that get the latest upgrades, are a little dubious if you think about it too.

The iPhone 4 is getting iOS 7 and will be included in the percentage of iOS devices that got the upgrade... but is it a true upgrade, is it really iOS 7?

Things missing from iOS 7 in the iPhone 4
-3D Flyover or turn-by-turn navigation in Maps.
Panorama mode or Filters in the Camera app (filters can still be applied after-the-fact in the Photos app).
-AirPlay Mirroring.
-Siri.
-AirDrop.
-A number of the new graphical effects present on all other iOS 7 devices. These include
-translucency effects throughout the OS,
-live wallpapers,
-and the parallax effect used on the Home screen.

So while Apple will use this in the claim of high adoption of iOS 7... it's just mostly BS.
