I'd honestly be surprised if the site admin(s) do this as a full time job. I'd imagine they probably admin multiple IB sites.
As far as resources to do an upgrade... it's a lot of work. Creating a test environment (server hardware), migrating a backup, then testing the environment. When all that's said and done, then doing the production site.
As I originally said -- I think it *should* be done, but it's not as easy as I think you think it is
