Ah, I see SiteGround supporting MySQL 8,along with Hostinger and IONOS if looking at the largest hosting providers. AWS, Google, Hezner and others aren’t simply website hosting companies but they also are at the latest versions.
The largest shared hosts in the US don't support MySQL 8+ . Sure, one might find a smaller provider that might support it; but the risk of using a smaller provider seems bigger than the risk of using MySQL 5.9 for a few more years. It's not like sites using MySQL 5.9 are getting hacked left and
I think your premise is wrong.
