No SNI on Windows XP (IE6, IE7, IE8, Safari), nor Android 2.3 Browser, nor BlackBerry. Windows XP still has 4-5% usage share on the web, which is 1 in 20 people. Lots and lots of low-end and older Android handsets were on 2.3 because 4.0 had new hardware requirements. Combined, it's a relevant number of people for large sites.

And highly dependent on the region and demographics of the visitors, so the numbers can be way higher (or way lower if you are lucky).

Chrome and FF together have a market share of about 70%, so roughly speaking, only 30% of those XP users can be expected to still be using IE or safari. The percentage might be a touch higher as users left on XP might be less likely to use a different browser, but it's certainly not like all of today's XP users are on IE + Safari.
