There are also many people for whom ActiveX and NPAPI plugins are the only reason they use old browsers like IE.
A lot of investment went into niche contracted solutions that are built in Java and Silverlight, and contracting replacements is a huge cost in the face of some abstract cyber security mumbo jumbo.

They forget that security is not an ends in itself, but exists in the broader context of doing things.
