That's still much, much higher usage than jsvu[1] which they gave as the justification for needing this polyfill. 0.35% of Internet users is ~14 million people. jsvu has been on npm for about a year and has never had more than 1000 downloads per week, so it has under 50k users, more than two orders of magnitude less than IE<11.

Author of the referenced article here. The article includes a working polyfill that includes old IE support, so I’m not sure what you’re complaining about. Also, saying “jsvu is the justification for the polyfill” doesn’t make much sense. jsvu is just how I happen to test in various standalone JavaScript engines. There are other, non-jsvu ways of getting such binaries, e.g. compiling one yourself, and there are JS engine binaries that jsvu doesn’t provide (Rhino, Ringo, Nashorn). jsvu usage does not correspond to anything you seem to be talking about, and comparing its download count with IE10 usage is one of the more extreme apples-to-oranges comparison I’ve seen. ️
