Comment (by samiamnot):

 Based on based on [https://wordpress.org/about/stats/ WordPress stats], as
 of today's release of WordPress 6.6 with a minimum supported PHP version
 of 7.2, 6.05% of WordPress sites are now running on unsupported PHP
 versions. 7.29% of sites are running on PHP 7.2 + 7.3, the next logical
 set of PHP versions to drop. PHP 7.4 is by far the most used PHP version
 for WordPress, comprising 39.63% of all WordPress sites.
