That sounds like incredible hyperbole considering all the major browsers are evergreen now.

I wish I could agree with you, but those numbers are beyond silly. You think I pay $50/month for home internet access? You think any device I own is worth $1000 or purchased within the past year?
In my view, the big issue right now is Electron, and developers who are comfortable developing for 1 Google browser per application. There's enough wrong with the current browser ecosystem that we don't need to make up numbers.

I don't think you would have trouble finding $1000 msrp of web connected gizmos in any given household in the US, and less than $50 a month for intertubes is a pretty good price, so right on, good for you. Just saying, we shouldn't be in this rat race.
You are writing code that runs nowhere, unless you can afford to shell out $1000 a year to keep your hardware current and $50 a month for the bandwidth to keep your software current. That's totally unsustainable from a global perspective.
