Because they're very much the victims of web designers with the same mindset, and if anyone should be the one to recognize how unfair throwing minority user groups under the bus can be.

It also doesn't really make strategic sense to focus on the lowest common denominator. Chrome already has that group. The one place they could eke out a loyal userbase is specifically the users that Chrome fails to capture because they have unusual needs or requirements.

Actually when I think about it, it's even worse than this. Firefox has been on the receiving end of this type of discrimination more or less for as long as it's existed. It was the state of affairs when IE was the challenger too.

You have to be just mindbogglingly oblivious to not see how this has been one of their biggest problems the last 20 years.
