OSX had little market share.
I mean, it still has a relatively small market.
If you can save a week's work and make your site work on 97% of computers, or spend another week to get it to 99%, what would you do?
And in truth, Mozilla/Opera/other HTML browsers had around 10 percent of marketshare even during the heydays of IE6's reign, and yet plenty of websites only worked on IE6.
Would programmers care about those five percent of Mac users?
