Who are these mysterious people? You have to try very hard these days to turn off automatic updates. Unless you do that, your browser stays up to date. If you do do that, then whatever does not work is your problem.
I can think of no better way for a product to fail than that the developers were worrying about how to support IE10 instead of developing new features.
Serving to then thousands of teachers. They have strict no-auto-update policy at schools and Germany really is not a developing country. Old not updated browsers are a real thing. I found the most obscure FF and CH versions and I won't even talk about the little number behind IE that we need to support.
Well then, you have to decide if your professional direction involves using ten-year old technology because you or your employer are serving a market using obsolete technology. What is your career plan? When this job is over, you'll move to Laos where they still need people who can support IE8, which is your area of expertise?
Maybe it is hard to prevent updates in developed countries. But in most developing countries mobile data is really expensive and people just can't update because of the cost. For example, a lot of my friends use UC Browser Mini, which does not interpret almost any JS. Many people get 20Mb per day and just 1 update of the browser is like 2 days of Internet usage. Yeah I also don't want to support old browsers but I have to, because our product should work not in the NASA type networks, but our people's devices.

My career plan must be to stay at the same employer for the rest of my life.
