yes - I think this is the crux of the matter.

There's a division between those who have used Drupal as a flexible CMS, 
configuring but not so much coding.

.. and for those who have used Drupal as more of a framework with 
advanced CMS components ready built.

The work I've done is firmly is the second set.

I think a lot of sites have been developed this way too.

For these type of sites there is no realistic upgrade path. But also no 
real need to upgrade (I don't see any killer feature even in D7).

Keeping the site alive will be a matter of ongoing development of the 
customised components.
