It happens anyways regardless of what people want. The 90s era web doesn't work properly in modern browsers and 90s era browsers don't work with the modern web.
> 99% of the web’s users are not going to understand when to switch browsers, how, nor why.
This also happens naturally. Chrome is the most popular browser and it doesn't come with most operating systems. That is something users must switch to.
