They find themselves in the same position of being a minority with a powerful, majority market share competitor that has the ability to put their products front and center (e.g.: on google.com and other Google properties). I think the IE6 era was bad for the web for a lot of reasons, but fortunately the investigations into Microsoft made it harder for them to abuse their overwhelming marketshare.
