Well, in general, upgrading can be a major effort and you always have  
the risk that stuff will break in unexpected ways. Obviously,  
problems and the effort to fix them are potentially expensive and  
customers may loose their confidence.

In particular, I haven't looked in detail what happened in 3.10, but  
since 3.9 has proven to be a very good release (excluding the  
recently addressed production problems, which have been around for a  
long time), we will stick to for now. In summary, I trust in 3.9 more  
than in 3.10 and I don't know a reason that would justify the  
potential hassle to upgrade.
