Not everyone has portability as a first-class requirement for their scripts. For 95% of what I write, bash 4 is entirely appropriate.

It's more about simplicity than portability. POSIX is simpler and simpler is better. If what you need is impossible with POSIX, then use Bash. If it's impossible with Bash, then use something else.
