Maybe I'm a little bit out of touch here. At least the multinational enterprise I work for specifies the product and version as standard. I still feel that is perfectly reasonable, because LSB cannot address operational and configuration issues.
I cannot speak for ISVs but I believe, that they will test their products against the major distributions. I believe that customers will be interested to know, whether it runs on their platform, which is not the LSB. Open source developers will write their software also against real systems and distribute their source, if the software doesn't run on a specific platform those issues will be fixed.
The value of the LSB might be, that it limits the amount of variation distributions have. But this might be also be enforced by standard packages like Oracle, which major distributions have to support anyhow.
