Answer 1

:/ it's has been the default browser on Windows for ages and a large section of the human population doesn't know about other browsers. It would be detrimental to one's business to ignore support for this browser.

Answer 2

As of April 2019, according to StatCounter, Edge still has lower market share than Internet Explorer and even with the market share of the both combined would only manage 3rd place after Firefox.

Is Edge just a new version of IE?

Answer 6

IE was really the only browser for a number of years and so Enterprise solutions were built specifically for it. And they haven't updated. Why fix it if it isn't broken? That's why you see a lot of banks and businesses still rocking windows 98 and IE 5. However IE is about to undergo a significant change as Microsoft are building the next version on Chrome.

Answer 7

Windows is a widely used operating system and so IE become the first choice for many people. Most of the users other than developers doesn't even know other browsers exists. That's the reason many popular wesites still support IE even though Microsoft makes it worst on every updates.
