Because a lot of them do, and nearly 100% of servers do.

  More of a reason to stop supporting their bugs, and force users and servers to migrate to a more standard-compliant solution. You are just turning V8 into the new IE6 by adapting to it. (Although, in reality, you probably won’t be able to do this, and will end up having to support the non-standard behaviour of V8.)

    I think you're confused. It's not a bug, try/catch executes just fine. try/catch just isn't supported by V8's Crankshaft so some people avoid putting it in potentially hot code.

      Why do they avoid using it? That's like not using CSS3 because IE6 doesn't support it. Sure, some users of an antiquated browser will not get the full performance, but I have no sympathy for them. If something doesn't work on Firefox, it's always "just switch to Chrome, our site only works on Chrome". If it doesn't work on Chrome, all hell breaks loose.
