It's honestly a smart thing for shared hosting providers to offer. Some years ago my co took over a bunch of legacy sites from another developer that were not tightly maintained Wordpress. We hosted the sites at the time at Rackspace Cloud Sites. The main reason we chose their antiquated hosting tier was that Rackspace support would handle infection cleanup when it happened.
It would take us time to assess everything and do up contracts for bring-up with these sites. Everything from old revslider and timthumb to more exotic infections. Once you got a file injection or reverse shell on a host, it would spread fast to everything on the server. Only way reliably back was catching when it came in and rolling it back to before then upgrading the vulnerable components.
