While the difficulty is scaling it comes out to about seven and a half minutes per block, not five or below five.

Interesting. Roughly 3,682,674 minutes have passed since its inception so expected blocks would be 368,267 whereas it is 391,933. Thus average should be less than 5. I guess due to low frequency of transactions the median is not the same as average.
