Bootstrap 5 will remove jQuery as a dependency

IE will go EOL for the majority of users well before 2025, simply because they're not adding features and the web _will_ break (and is already breaking) as a result.

Imagine TLS 1.4, or some other change that will occur that will completely break IE11.

Instead, Microsoft will ship Edge with Chromium (even on Windows 7) and say "use that instead" and will eventually remove IE altogether.

And enterprise users will block the update and continue demanding that all of their vendors support IE11 and I will continue smashing my head on the desk finding 10 year old bugs.

Worse still: they’ll force your site into the bizarro world of ersatz IE9 or even IE8 “compatibility” through the auspices of “enterprise mode”. There’s nothing like the unique experience of trying to resolve a problem in your modern app, reported by a user who thinks they’re running IE11, but is actually running a never-was IE8 — because the last known developer of some indecipherable ActiveX-festooned internal budgeting app passed away 12 years ago.

Windows 7 will be unsupported next year.

Yes. MS still intends to ship their new browser on Windows 7 since it'll be like any other browser you can install...

Minor nitpick but TLS support is separate from IE and is handled by the OS.
