I agree, it is alarming. Alas, it is the current state of things.
(The following is not directed at you KronisLV, but rather at the community at large.)
As a (now former) open source browser developer, one of the most frustrating aspects of the job was discussing complaints from people who don't work directly with the web front-end.
Many have wishful thinking that because they believe that a browser should just be a document viewer, that therefore it is just a document viewer, and problems that emerge with browsers is due to developer incompetence.
It is more or less impossible to engage constructively with those people when the reality is that modern browsers are ridiculously complex.
