PHP 5.3 is already at End of Life. By the time Magento 2 is finished, it's probably going to be sometime next year. All support for PHP 5.3 is slated to end July 2014. At that time, hosts will need to update or risk leaving security vulnerabilities exposed.

I don't think supporting PHP 5.3 for the sake of hosts who do not follow best practices and don't even care about security enough to update is a step in the right direction.
