This is not surprising at all, nor should you be surprised to find xntp3 
still in use because of the even older software on decrepit but still 
functional hardware.  I.e., in addition to the issues Stephen Satchell 
mentioned as to why vendors might not be keeping up, users may have 
similar needs keeping them from using the latest releases of device 
software.  And then there are those that never even check for updates so 
long as their device keeps them happy.
