In my experience it is totally the opposite: "no, absolutely they are not". Entities Eliotte talks about are usually commercial entities (corps) and are usually big ones. Hence, they follow that mantra of "don't touch it if it's not broken". They even run Maven Core 2.x plugins many times, as I see. And usually we have zero (read: 0) feedback and contribution getting back from them.
Contrast that to other "lively" modern (OSS or not) projects that do keep their builds up to date. >From there, we sometimes even get contributions back, but most importantly we ALWAYS get back valuable feedback (bug reports, etc). And you can upgrade the wrapper whenever you want, only if you want or care about it. My 5 cents.
