A good reason for staying with DDR4 at this point in time is if you need faster boot times. DDR5 makes computers boot slower because it's less stable and needs more work during POST to get stable.

In many cases it's not a requirement though, and the speed improvements of DDR5 after boot outweigh the extra boot time.

    You mean memory training?
    Thats only really an issue during first boots or after a reset due to FW updates (or you didnt turn off memory training after each boot).

    There are much more steps than just training. Even after training you still have slower boot speeds.
