It's not about businesses or technologies. It's about users. There's no point in telling users to upgrade any more. It's almost inconceivable that users are not aware there are better browsers available. If they haven't moved on by now it's because they either can't or consciously don't want to. In either case, not providing at least minimal support for IE means missing out on those page views. The only practical way to drop IE is for it to become commercially unviable, just as support for Netscape Navigator is. So it's down to those who produce web sites to make it clear to their clients that IE support increases costs, and charge more accordingly. The clients will inevitably become more and more unwilling to pay that extra charge.
It's commercially unviable for a company to not remain technologically innovative.
Users that don't want to upgrade their browser aren't worth keeping, and you need to be clear and authentic about that with any executive you deal with, for the sole reason of remaining technologically innovative

This is not always true, depending on the domain.
