tbh: the IE argument is valid, still it's extra work you will spend on supporting. I'd rather support it's extinction.

For the a11y side we are unable to provide easy/cheap alternatives to the people. So supporting these practices is a huge benefit.

Extinction is welcomed for IE, but I would always support a locked down browser such as Brave and Tor Browser, and low-bandwidth, screen-space challenged, ... which therefore means I should have standards to support plain text, non-javascript, accessible (visually impared, screen-readers) and so on, which would as a side-effect also render well on IE.
