It's not fair to blame web devs for not trying to support a browser that doesn't try to support any standards. We have clients pushing us for cool things that they have seen on other sites, or some interesting (to them) feature that they must have. If we refuse? They go to someone more accommodating.

For most real world requirements it becomes a combinatorial explosion of various strategies that are mutually exclusive in many parts. Unless you have some new machine learning approach to work out all the platform quirks and arrive at pure fallback nirvana?
