What do you think about the developers insisting on depending on Internet Explorer when it is no longer supported and is already older and dead?

Some developers have criticised my comment because something I use is not supported in Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer is too too too too too old. Internet Explorer has only 2% of users worldwide. It will be dead the next decades. It is no longer supported by Microsoft and will not receive security updates.

We, developers, need to stop of depending on Internet Explorer. Do you want to depend on the already-dead Netscape and in the first versions of Chrome and Firefox? Hum, and on Flash? We are not in 1998, we are in 2018.

Funny, some developers criticised and asked for the death of Flash, but protest against us just because we do not want to depend on the oldest already-dead browsers like Internet Explorer.

We will not adapt ourselves to the old technology. The developers and users who will have to adapt themselves to the new technology or will be erased from the market.

Remember that Google stopped of supporting the eldest versions of Android, as 2.x and does no longer update its apps for Android 2.x, so do not try to argue that it exists however and we have to depend on the eldest versions of Android. Did you disagree? Argue with Google CEO and developers.

Do you think the enterprises will want to hire old-fashioned developers who refuse to use new CSS and HTML technology? If required by the enterprises?

Come to know that next 30 decades, computers programmers and hardware engineers will be replaced by automata and robots with AI. If you refuse to adapt yourself to the new technology the next 30 decades, you will be erased from the market. So do not come to argue that it exists however.
