I'm betting that getting out of support / lifecycle requirements is part of the major version bump. Internet Explorer 11 support is likely tied to the lifecycle of Windows 10.

Sadly, I'll still be supporting IE11 on Windows 10 for the next decade. The bane of a massive company with old people that panic at opening chrome.

I will be supporting it for as long as IE11 is installed on all computers.

For reference, we extended Windows 7 support until just this year lol
