I like databases that don't require you run a specific browser for it to work, but what do I know? I thought we got over "you must run this browser to have the app work" stuff when we all got off IE6. I understand the use case is to store the data locally, and I'm sure it has its use cases, but they are probably limited.

Assumption is flawed -- we haven't all gotten off IE6, it's use has simply dropped significantly. It's a simple case of diminishing returns, and it will never cease to exist, even with the rise of evergreen browsers. There's also a big difference between supported browsers and explicitly mandating certain browsers. That said, IE10+ is somewhat limiting, but some people may be completely fine with that limitation. For about 90% of the apps I personally work on, IE10+ is perfectly acceptable.
