> A lot of (mostly non-US) orgs used locked-down managed IT and VMs where IE was still the only allowed browser, until the IE 11 shutdown in 2022, which is recent.

That's hardly Microsoft's fault, isn't it?

I simply stated as a fact that IE has not been dead and buried for ages. The official 2022 shutdown is recent.

Regardless of who we each might consider to be responsible (and in what proportion), that fact is a fact. Agreed?

(and I've seen lots of end-of-life cycles in software and hardware, and gone through them as both user, customer and vendor)

They literally promoted the shitty web tech that companies built their shit on which obligated them to stick with an old OS or rewrite entirely.
