I don't think there's much incentive for businesses to move to Pi 5s. Unless they need the power, which most applications probably don't, I imagine businesses would stick with Pi4s until there's a supply built up.

Personal anecdote: though all press releases claim the pi5 is roughly 3x faster than the pi4, in the real-world tests i've run (as opposed to benchmarks) my pi5 is closer to 4-5x faster than the pi4. e.g. compiling C code and converting videos from one format to another. i.e. the pi5 is, for most things, way overpowered for what i do with my pi4s (NAS, manage several remote backups, and (until the pi5 arrived) video conversion).
