Comment:

 [attachment:42352.3.diff] probably wasn't actually the version I intended
 to upload here. Either way, the patches continued in
 https://github.com/dd32/wordpress-develop/tree/add-native-sql-
 prepare-42352 - I've experimented with a few things and making a few
 dangerous decisions that may not actually be merged into core (But it's
 Git, so those commits/methods can be removed)

 > If we drop our entirely-cautious MySQLi for PHP 5.5+ only, MySQL for PHP
 5.2~5.4 checks and use MySQLi when available we'd probably be able to get
 native prepares to be available for ~90% of sites rather than the above
 70-80% too.

 See #42812

 I'm marking this as `Future Release` as it's likely we'll move to real
 prepared queries, but until we have a solid way of handling back-compat
 for `mysql_*` clients we're kind of stuck.
