Comment (by Clorith):

 I could swear we had a discussion about showing versions numbers, but I'm
 unable to find back to it right now unfortunately.

 My take on it is that version numbers mean little to nothing to the
 average user, and only lead to it becoming perceived as more of a
 "technical hurdle" when presented to those who may be unfamiliar with it.
 (I could be wrong of course, this is why we have discussions about it
 after all :) )

 Creating a call to action button to contact their host is not really
 possible, unless the host uses the filters you mentioned, WordPress has no
 way of knowing who the host is, or what the appropriate contact channels
 are.

 The notice does link to the [https://wordpress.org/support/update-php/
 Update PHP page], which has information about contacting their host,
 including an example message they could send.

 For the sake of completeness, what does a PHP notice with version strings
 look like in your ideal scenario?
