This should actually finally be fixed as iOS 14 rolls out, of course there's still IE ...

Internet Explorer is officially unsupported by Microsoft. Nobody should write anything new with support for IE.

Microsoft claims otherwise: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/faq/internet-expl...

_Internet Explorer is a component of the Windows operating system and follows the Lifecycle Policy for the product on which it is installed._

Some of their sites are like Office365 will drop support, but only on 2021-08-17.

So after several years of ignoring a better file format apple will start supporting it when it's already being deprecated by an even better format?
