I worked on an enterprise product in the 2010-2014 timeframe. We were a huge enterprise company that got acquired by an even larger one; all of our customers were on the Fortune 500.
Our product supported IE7 at the time and let me tell you kids... that is trouble you've not known.
I got so fed up I just said I wasn't going to look at IE7 bugs anymore and wasn't going to invest any time in it. My decision snowballed and eventually that snowball led to dropping IE7 support across the whole organization. It turns out everyone hated it.
Sometimes you've just got to push for it and tell customers that's what you are doing whether they like it or not. We just told our Fortune 500 customer base IE7 support was dead, get over it. And they did.
