This is a gross oversimplifcation
They also cannot opt-in if you don't have electricity in your house or don't own a computer
DOH!
This is not a real argument
A real argument is obsolescence
Of course there's a point when older versions are not supported anymore
Here we are talking about future versions breaking compatibility, without a shared consent, without a deprecation roadmap, that need to be supported, in a Chrome specific way, making Chrome the new IE for no real benefits to the user and a vendor lock-in by Google
When they users will try a different browser, for whatever reason, they will experience a different web, that for the majority of them being non techy will look like a broken web
