I wouldn't say nobody, but most people with a working Zen 4 don't see the need.

And they're the only people who can easily do it.

Anybody else needs a new motherboard and RAM. And for those people, they're like "hmmm I can spend $700+ upgrading to Zen5, or I could spend $180 on a 5700X3D, not have to pull my entire PC apart, and get about the same real-world performance because I'll be GPU bottlenecked anyway."
